Hosted by a passionate guide, you’ll be fully immersed into The Singleton’s world of ‘Slow Craft’, from Malt to Cask. This is a unique opportunity to explore our onsite drum maltings where our talented operators craft our world-class malted barley. Next, you’ll enjoy a guided tour of our striking distillery where we’ll share some of our slow craft secrets. It’s then time to visit our traditional bonded warehouse where over 3000 casks lie maturing, slowly creating the perfect flavour. Whilst visiting the warehouse, the lucky few who join us on this tour will have the rare opportunity to draw their own delicious casks samples to taste. To conclude your experience you’ll enjoy a tutored tasting of unique and rare expressions from the Singleton range. This is the ultimate whisky experience.
