Facts

Auchroisk distillery near Mulben spends most of its life making spirit for the J&B blend. It rarely bottles its own single malt. This expression is the exception, matured in sherry casks that bring butterscotch, toffee and vanilla into the mix. For years it was sold simply as The Singleton, since the distillery's own name proved a mouthful for shoppers. Fresh fruit and citrus keep the sweetness lively, while an oily texture carries the flavour along. It is a soft, malty whisky, built for slow, neat sipping rather than mixing into anything else.
