In celebration of fine craftsmanship, The Singleton has partnered with Master Pâtissier, Nicolas Rouzaud, known for his recently unveiled Maison de Haute Pâtisserie at The Connaught, London.

Each layer of the sumptuous cake has been carefully crafted, with flavours to complement a different expression of The Singleton: The Singleton of Glen Ord 12-Year-Old, The Singleton of Glen Ord 18-Year-Old, and The Singleton of Dufftown 21-Year-Old whiskies.
