The Singleton expressions are single malts distilled at the three distilleries that make up the brand. The process includes extended fermentations (cited as about 75 hours for the brand), traditional distillation in copper pot stills and subsequent maturation in American and European oak casks.
Distillation
Distillation in copper pot stills on a batch (discontinuous) cycle; process described as slow and gentle.
Ageing
Maturation in oak casks; the brand notes the use of American and European oak for ageing.
Producer history Singleton
The modern The Singleton brand was relaunched by Diageo in 2006–2007 by bringing together three historic distilleries (Glen Ord, Glendullan and Dufftown) under a single brand identity. The name "Singleton" had previously appeared on individual bottlings (e.g. Auchroisk), but Diageo's strategy since 2006 transformed The Singleton into a global single malt brand with a progressive rollout across major markets.
Production philosophy
The brand philosophy emphasizes 'Slow Craft': long fermentations, gentle distillation and careful maturation to achieve soft textures and balanced flavors. The aim is to offer accessible single malts that are easy to drink yet have a clear, organic identity.
Territory
Scotland (production at Glen Ord, Glendullan and Dufftown distilleries; areas: Highlands and Speyside). The brand is marketed globally with particular focus on markets such as China, Europe and travel retail.
