NOSING & TASTING

THE SINGLETON FAMILY ( 2 ) DUFFTOWN, GLENDULLAN, GLEN ORD.

By 2015 Diageo revealed plans to grow The Singleton as a single malt brand in its own right, to take on the might of The Glenlivet and Glenfiddich which jointly held the title of world’s biggest malt brand.

For a giant with such prominent brands, Diageo is not used to playing catch-up to its smaller rivals, but that is what has happened with single malts,with a view to redressing the balance, The Singleton range was launched in 2006.

The Singleton is actually a threesome of single malts each with a growing family of expressions around a core 12-year-old. First was Singleton of Glen Ord, Diageo’s ‘green grassy’ malt from the Black Isle which was reserved for Asia.

Then came two Speysiders –

The Singleton of Glendullan (fruity, grassy) for the US and Canada, and The Singleton of Dufftown (nutty, spicy), which was kept just for Europe.

Today all three are available globally in a bid to become the world’s number one single malt brand, in each case with The Singleton of Glendullan, Dufftown and Glen Ord, the range has been expanded with older expressions and those with no age statement at all.

The Singleton Family (1), launched in 2014 as NAS expressions. Examples include Dufftown’s Spey Cascade, Tailfire and Sunray, (N & T(32).

Described as a ‘recruitment malt’, The Singleton has become the key driver in Diageo’s single malt portfolio, flanked by ‘discovery malts’ like Talisker and Oban, and ‘prestige malts’ like Mortlach and the annual “Special Releases range”.
