The Singleton

A delicacy for Single Malt fans.

With producers such as Glenfiddich and Balvenie calling the town home, Dufftown is often described as the capital of Scotch Whisky. Too often though we forget that Dufftown is the name of a distillery in its own right. Nestled in the heart of the Scotch Whisky capital, Dufftown distillery has been creating sweet and fruity malt classics that have helped make Speyside one of the most famous Whisky-producing regions in the world. By no means however is this the case of a small fish in a big pond. Dufftown is the third biggest distillery owned by Diageo and a large volume of their malts contribute to popular Whisky blends such as Johnnie Walker.

This 2022 special release of The Singleton of Glen Ord 15 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky comes from the only remaining Single Malt distillery on the Black Isle. Aged in refill American and European Oak before it’s finished in Wine-seasoned casks, this is a dry Whisky, bursting with spicy and woody aromas of oak that lead into barley-sugar sweet flavors with a pinch of salt, supported by tart, red berry fruit, and vanilla. A decadently layered Whisky, serve it in a Whisky glass neat or add a drop of water if you want to keep the spice but with less tartness.
