There’s all kinds of casks maturing at The Glasgow Distillery The Glasgow Distillery cask programme Palate: Rich and full-bodied with notes of coffee fudge, ground almonds, chocolate, gingerbread, and tangy oak that make way for fruit: a medley of dried, dark, and tropical.

The best, in my many years of experience, comes down to each person’s subjective taste and budget at the time. Thankfully, there’s something for just about every taste and budget on this list. What is the best high-end Scotch?Nose: Pears, floral honey, vanilla ice cream, green apple skins, orange boiled sweets, shortbread, and white pepper. The is the oldest single malt from The Singleton to date, and the second and final bottling in The Singleton’s Paragon of Time Collection, a 54-year-old 1966 vintage single malt Scotch by the Dufftown distillery in the heart of Speyside. The collection is a masterful exploration of time itself. It showcases the brand’s skills and cares in successfully maturing whiskies over such a long period of time to develop real character and richness.

Single malts have a mellow profile, and since it is made using one type of grain, it is not overly complex, unlike other grain whiskies. Final Thoughts
