Expert Review

7/10

Diageo's flagship 'accessible single malt' brand, designed as an entry point for newcomers. From Dufftown — 'the malt whisky capital of the Highlands' (seven distilleries once operated there). Founded 1895. For decades the malt went into blends (notably Bell's). Relaunched under The Singleton brand around 2006. European and American oak casks. 40%.
