The Singleton Garden of Abundance whiskies have been launched by the Diageo-owned distillery as a series of expressions headed exclusively for the global travel retail channel.
The whiskey range is inspired by the Earth's ecosystems, which includes Deep Forest Riches, Exotic Spice Grove, Golden Autumn Orchard and Radiant Spring Garden. Each of the spirits are distilled at the Glendullan distillery in Scotland and are aged in different casks that help to impart a distinct flavor profile for each that will appeal to a wide range of spirit enthusiasts.
Master Blender Dr. Craig Wilson spoke on The Singleton Garden of Abundance whiskies saying, "This is one of the most exciting collections we have ever worked on. A flavour-first whisky that lets us push the boundaries of our craft. I’m incredibly proud of this collection and I can’t wait for people to explore it. Inspired by seasonality, we developed flavours that evoke specific times and places. We focused on environments that inspire emotions and aromas, influencing not only the whisky but also the naming, recipes, and wood types used for ageing."
