The Singleton Gourmand Collection: A trio of stunning 42-year-old single malts inspired by the art of P\u00e2tisserie.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Singleton unveils its exceptional new release, The Singleton Gourmand: a collection of three 42-Year-Old Single Malt Scotch Whiskies, each designed to emulate the flavours of sumptuous desserts. To celebrate the launch of the Gourmand Collection, The Singleton has partnered with Master P\u00e2tissier Nicolas Rouzaud who has designed three bespoke cakes inspired by each of the whiskies, which, when enjoyed together, create a single moment of pure indulgence.<\/p>\n
The Gourmand Collection whiskies have been meticulously matured for 42 years, including the longest secondary maturation in the history of The Singleton, and are designed to capture the essence of a lavish dessert. Notes of Fig & Chocolate Ganache oozes characters of melted chocolate, cloves, spices and rich vanilla woodiness; Notes of Caramelised Cr\u00e8me Br\u00fbl\u00e9e balances rich and sweet notes of baked vanilla custard torched to perfection; and Notes of Black Cherry G\u00e2teau embodies the classic dessert with flavours of ripened, juicy black cherries, chocolate and black pepper.<\/p>\n
Master of Malts Dr. Craig Wilson led the creation of these whiskies through a 29-year maturation process, using an innovative cask layering technique that reveals unparalleled depth of flavour. Dr. Wilson shared, \u201cIn pursuit of exceptional indulgence, this collection pushes the boundaries of whisky maturation, much like Nicolas\u2019 approach to creating layered, flavourful p\u00e2tisserie. Together, they create an harmonious tasting adventure that showcases the artistry behind both crafts.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
In celebration of fine craftsmanship, The Singleton has partnered with Master P\u00e2tissier Nicolas Rouzaud, known for Nicolas Rouzaud at The Connaught, London. Rouzaud was inspired by The Gourmand Collection to create three bespoke cakes that harmonise with the whiskies, elevating the experience of each dram. His creations reflect the intricate flavours of the Gourmand Collection, making each pairing a symphony of flavours, textures and aromas.<\/p>\n
The bespoke cakes feature multiple layers and textures, combining elements including mousse, sponge, puff pastry, and caramel cream, all beautifully crafted to mirror the characteristics of the whiskies. Each cake\u2019s form is an homage to The Singleton Gourmand Collection\u2019s iconic bottle design.<\/p>\n
Of this new collaboration, Nicolas Rouzaud said: \u201cThe art of a Chef P\u00e2tissier is rooted in creativity, passion, and the pursuit of unbounded flavour\u2014qualities that are also central to the whisky-maker\u2019s craft. The Singleton\u2019s process, flavours and commitment to slow craft and precision inspired the creation of these cakes and I\u2019m honoured to present these alongside The Singleton Gourmand whiskies to craft a truly singular moment of indulgence.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
