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.

The best and pleasant texture

Wonderful
-
I love it and only wish it was available in British Columbia
-
I love it, my favourite Scotch. It has been delisted in LCBO stores in Ottawa. I dislike the controls that are put on our choices of liquor in Ontario.
-
Citrus smell. Explosion after a while.
-
Exceptionally rich for a Speyside, more like an islay without the smoke.
-
Best whisky ever
-
One of my favorites. Nice, sweet and smooth. Very suitable for people who want to explore single malts. The nutty sweet taste, combined with the oak casks give this whisky it''s unique nutty and a little spicy flavor.

I guess I would be included within the so-called ''new-worlders'' camp. I am not a big whisky drinker, and not a lover of the smokey or peaty tasting whiskys. I found Singleton a favourite and have served it to several seasoned whisky drinkers. Evberyone enjoys its uncomplicated, sweat taste. A tiny splash of water brings the flavour forward.

Lies damn lies. This is a great spesysider. Citrusy, oily, a little wood and it''s the European kind not the recharred refill from Merkiuh. This is light, uncomplicated and wonderfully satisfying in the arrival. Its like your first kiss: eager, uncomplicated and guilty. I would not recommend this for the Islay crowd. This is for lowlanders and New Worlders used to ice and sub zero temps. ;)
-
Far too much caramel in this one - it looks like Apple Tizer. Must be Diageo, eh? Nose is flat, arrival is best described as ''basin mould'' and the finish is overpoweringly glue. It looks, smells and tastes like cheap crap. There are far better 12 year olds. I can only attribute it''s high ratings among ''newcomers'' because it offers little complexity and is unpeated. Huge disappointment but then I have come to expect that from Diageo tbh. (without prejudice!).
-
The only problem with this malt is that once opened it won''t last long. The flavours in this malt are stunning,full of fruit with a long aftertaste.
-
Great! Lots of fruit and nut here. Light and sweet. But if you''re looking for a heavy, complex dram, I''d probably look elsewhere. Liked the bottle too. My first single malt.
-
Fantastic and delicate warmth when the secondary taste comes into effect. You are in no doubt that this is a class act.
