The Singleton 40 Year Old
The Epicurean Odyssey Series
The Epicurean Odyssey Series was born to embody The Singleton's singular ambition to pursue deeply pleasurable flavour. The Series grand finale, the intense and elegant The Singleton 40-Year-old features a deeply dark sensual richness with velvety dark chocolate as well as juicy plums.
The Singleton 40 Year Old pushes boundaries of taste with an astonished-bold and pioneering 28 years secondary maturation experiment and forged from the expertise of two titans of extraordinary taste, The Singleton and Zacapa Rum. Opening up a new world of 'rich taste discoveries', our 40 Year Old represents the culmination of the journey and the ultimate expression of the belief - A maximalist in time, craft and flavour.
Palate: At natural strength, the texture is decadently smooth and lightly waxy while the taste starts sweet, vibrant and very fruity, becoming slightly salty and plum-sour-mid-palate. Complex layers of flavour suggest pears slathered indulgently in dark chocolate and caramelised tropical fruits, as with toffee-covered banana and pineapple. Beautifully balanced and super-smooth, with sustained rich, sweet fruitiness balanced by slow-building black pepper. Velvet smooth dark chocolate tannins herald an appetising drying note. A drop of water emphasises the fruit and softens the spice, bringing out a mouth-cooling aftertaste.
Finish: Quite long, deep flavoured and lightly drying, with black pepper spice and another hint of waxy smoke.
"The Singleton 40YO is not just indulgent on one dimension - but every dimension"
Malt Master, Maureen Robinson
