This bottling of a 12-year-old Dufftown as an original bottling of the distillery was marketed by Diageo under the name The Singleton. The whisky matured in European and American oak casks and was bottled in 2025.
The Singleton Distillery in Dufftown in the heart of Speyside was founded in 1895 by Peter MacKenzie and Richard Stackpole in an old sawmill. Today, there are six stills at the distillery and it is owned by Diageo.
The Speyside lies in the north-east of the Highlands and is considered the centre of Scotland's whisky production. Around the towns of Elgin, Rothes, Keith and Dufftown there are more distilleries than anywhere else in Scotland, including big names such as Glenfarclas, Glenlivet, Macallan and many more.
Elegance and complexity are often cited as characteristic features of Speyside malts, but the variety of whiskies produced here is too great to speak of a single style.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
