Tasting Notes:
Producer's Tasting Notes
Appearance: Deep gold, polished mahogany highlights.
Nose: Approachable and rich. First polished wood and nuts (toasted hazelnut) dominate, then rich fruits, both stewed (baked apples) and dried (sweeet dates) take over, with soft brown sugar. Behind this, a stick of liquorice. Mossy. Water brings out a sweeter, more direct Speyside character (citrus fruits, pear drops!). Clean and dense. After a while, warm, dry aromas of pencil shavings or match-sticks.
Body: Smooth. Medium.
Palate: Sweetness and crunchy nuts impress at first, then there's a smooth, fruity Speyside richness to enjoy. Firm, with a balancing sweetness: hints of blackcurrant fruit, brown sugar and espresso coffee. Warming and pleasant. With water, still a pleasant texture. Light sweetness, then chewy and balanced by a light acidity, with a good spread of flavours mid-palate.
Finish: Medium to long. Elegantly drying and crisp; then a sweetly nutty delayed warmth, which lingers pleasantly.
Customer Reviews:
I agree with above. My favorite Malt is Lagvulin but this dram along with Craggenmore and Glenfiddich are making me love Speyside and challenging my first love,Feb'12 Islay. Just very smoth and drinkable, not quiet as complex as Craggenmore but sweet on the pallet with a loverly long finish.

- Sebastian AKA Mr Captain Singles, 14th Dec '11
Tried this single malt with much apprehension, however, the soft nutty fruityness amid a smooth & lingering warmth combined to ensure a very fine evening dram.

A really approachable dram that has a smooth unchallenging but extremely pleasant taste. There are many more complex Speysiders and many more interesting but this one often gets pulled off the shelf as it so drinkable.

I am a malt whisky fan and drunk many types.Singleton is for me one of the most smooth malt a ever had. Since my first experience its my daily drink before dinner. What a drink!

ONE OF THE BEST 12 YEAR OLD SINGLE MALTS I HAVE EVER HAD MYSELF OR GIVEN IT AS A GIFT TO LOTS OF MY FRIENDS AND RELATIVES.EVERYONE IN UK AND INDIA HAS HAD A WONDERFUL DRINKING EXPERIENCE IN 2011.THE PACKAGING ITSELF IS EXTREMELY UNIQUE BUT ONE HAS TO BE CAREFUL IN HANDLING IT.

Get home from work and feel like a super smooth, soft, undemanding but delicious single malt?!I reach for the Singletons over and over again!!
- Maish, 5th Sep '11
never been tempted by Dufftown before, but got a bottle for a present and it was a great surprise, this is a really pleasant and easy drinking malt, one that you keep going back to again and again!
- Davepat, 18th Aug '11
My favourite for the present, alternating with Glenfyddich and Bowmore depending on the proximity of dinner! Smooth, rich and sweet but not over-complex. Aaahh!
- Mickey, 9th Jul '11
I only drink Malt. Went to shop for Glenfiddich and left the store with 2 bottles of Singleton, went back for more. It is like honey on the tongue or like they say in Afrikaans / Dutch ' Moedersmelk' (Translation - milk from the mother)
- Ston, 8th Jul '11
Not bad. More interesting than the likes of Glenlivet or Glenfiddich but still a little on the bland side for my liking.
- anonymous, 24th Jun '11
Very smooth. Sweeter with added spring water - to taste. For me it's two of water, one of whisky.
- Geoff Doughty, 3rd Jun '11
A client bought me a bottle as a token of appreciation after we won his labour matter, It is indeed a benchmark, my victorious celebrations are incomplete without it and so is my sad moments
- Steve Sekwele, Bronkhorstspriut, South Africa, 31st May '11
My absolute favourite !!
- Jonas Persson , Andersl?v - Sweden, 24th May '11
Nothing I tasted before, warm fruity approchable indeed
- steve Sekwele, 25th Feb '11
Being a Scotsman I've drank my fair share. This is a lovely introduction to single malt. Smooth and caramelly but not Glenmorangie sweet. The only downside is it's owned by those nasty Diageo people.
- anonymous, 5th Feb '11
The first malt I tried was a talisker 6 years ago, and its strong peat flavour very nearly put me off for life. Singleton of Dufftown changed that! Accessible, smooth and with a rich fruit flavour of raisin and pomegranate. Any sweeter and this wouldn't be to my taste. Full marks to the maker.
