The Singleton Paragon of Time expressions are the oldest and rarest whiskies The Singleton has ever released – over half a century of skilled ageing embody the Paragon of Time series’ masterful exploration of time itself. Such long-matured whiskies only attain real character and true richness through great skill and care; shaped to perfection by our slow-crafting tradition. This special bottling was crafted in Duftown in the 1960s – over half a century ago with only 235 bottles released. Aged for 54 years, The Singleton Paragon of Time No.2 celebrates a precious oak butt cask that was slowly hand-filled on October 31st, 1966 and sealed in time, destined to become The Singleton’s oldest ever release. Matured in an Oak Butt Cask, with a final maturation in Pedro-Ximenez Sherry-seasoned cask, this is a rare and unusual malt that has gained richness, mellowness and complexity on its long journey to harmony, this very old whisky shows its age elegantly and rewards proper contemplation. With a final maturation in Pedro-Ximenez Sherry-seasoned cask, this is a rare and unusual malt that has gained richness, mellowness and complexity on its long journey to harmony.
