The Singleton Garden of Abundance Collection: Sensory Journey in Travel Retail

The Singleton is set to launch its largest-ever travel retail range, the Garden of Abundance collection, this summer. This nature-inspired series of four whiskies promises a unique sensory journey, reflecting the harmony between nature and craftsmanship.

A Blend of Nature and Craftsmanship

Diageo, the parent company of The Singleton, has meticulously crafted the Garden of Abundance collection to evoke the essence of different seasons and environments. Master Blender Dr. Craig Wilson elaborates: “Inspired by seasonality, we developed flavors that evoke specific times and places. We focused on environments that inspired emotions and aromas, influencing not only the whisky but also the naming, recipes, and wood types used for aging.

The Four Expressions

  1. Radiant Spring Garden (42.8% ABV, RRP £55): This whisky is matured in white oak casks, delivering a bright and fruity character that reflects the terroir of the distillery and its surroundings.
  2. Golden Autumn Orchard (41.8% ABV, RRP £80): Double oak matured in ex-bourbon and American white oak casks, this variant offers fruity notes of toffee apples, capturing the essence of autumn.
  3. Exotic Spice Grove (42.8% ABV, RRP £150): Triple oak matured, starting in ex-wine and rejuvenated casks before being married in reserve oak casks, this whisky presents opulent flavors reminiscent of exotic spice groves.
  4. Deep Forest Riches (44.8% ABV, RRP £220): Quadruple cask matured, beginning in European oak and finishing in Palo Cortado, Marsala, and Pedro Ximénez/oloroso seasoned casks, it boasts notes of dried fruits, raisins, dates, and dark chocolate.

A Unique Sensory Journey

Dr. Wilson describes the experience of opening a bottle from this collection: “Opening a bottle from this range is like stepping into a secret garden, with aromas of blooming flowers, fresh herbs, and ripe fruits, promising a unique sensory journey.
