A good 12-year-old malt for a reasonable price.
The Singleton name was first applied to the malt of unpronounceable Auchroisk Distillery in 1986 but when an Auchroisk malt was added to Diageo’s Flora & Fauna series, The Singleton was dropped from the name. It was later revived, in 2006, in a plan that involved combining the spirit of three distilleries, to create a super-brand that would challenge the likes of Glenlivet and Glenfiddich for sales. Dufftown was chosen along with Glendullan and Glen Ord.
