The Singleton 12-Year-Old is a Speyside Scotch with a lighter taste profile of malt, lemon, honey, heather, and light oak. It is 40% abv, chilled filtered, color adjusted, and aged for 12 years in ex bourbon and sherry casks. For me, it is a summer scotch.
It is a lighter tasting Scotch, and, on their website, they present numerous cocktail receipts. I am generally not a fan of cocktails made from Scotch so this series will be an experiment to broaden my horizons and educate you as the reader.
Singleton Cocktail Series #2 – Singleton & Ginger
1.5 oz Singleton
3 oz Ginger Ale
Pour on ice
Lime wheel for garnish
Jesus, fuck me this tasted awful. The flavor profile does not work for me. If you like a light scotch, ginger, and lime juice this is your cocktail but I found it terrible tasting. It needs something else in it. I doubted I was going to like this cocktail. I am not a fan of whisky & soda. I only drink whisky & coke when I am in Madrid where it is regular party drink and I opt to blend in with the Spaniards.
