    The Singleton Distillery

    Scotland is well-known for its whisky distilleries. We'll visit one that produces a 12 year old, 15 year old and 18 year old single malt whisky exclusively available to the Southeast Asian market only. If you want a Glen Ord whisky, you'll only be able to buy it from Asia or in the distillery itself. They offer their own respective tour to show how their whisky is made and for visitors to taste the distinct flavour of their whisky for additional fees. We leave this up to you to decide as you can alternatively choose to simply wander about their stunning grounds and enjoy a tasting at your own leisure in their cozy bar.
