The Singleton Distillery, founded in 1838, commands 170 years of heritage on the Black Isle in the Scottish Highlands—the region's sole single malt Scotch whisky distillery. This blessed terroir features peat-darkened earth and pristine waters. The Singleton Single Malt achieves its distinctive character through the convergence of exceptional natural elements, employing a meticulously balanced ratio of sherry and bourbon casks during maturation. Years of masterful cask selection and blending craft a remarkably smooth, rounded, and complex palate, where every drop embodies precious balance and refinement.
