Product description
At the end of 2015, three versions of Singleton of Glendullan debuted in the Travel Retail chain – Classic, Double Matured and Master's Art.
The last of these was the creation of Diageo's master blender Maureen Robinson (Keith Law currently oversees the Master's Art creation process). The whisky undergoes a basic maturation period in traditional oak barrels, then finishes in barrels seasoned with sweet Muscat wine. The Singleton of Glendullan Master's Art is a small-batch whisky offered in limited quantities. In single malt whisky sales statistics, Singleton appears as a single brand, although it is owned by three distilleries - Glendullan, Glen Ord and Dufftown - and currently ranks fourth. In 2020, 6.4 million bottles of Singleton (or rather "Singletons") were sold.

Taste: mild, fruity with a subtle spiciness, raisins, oranges, peaches, toffee, caramel, a hint of lemon pepper and ginger and a subtle bitterness of oak.
Finish: quite long, sweet, with notes of ripe fruit, spices and oak tannins.
