Located just 15 miles west of Inverness, the distillery won the World’s Leading Whisky Distillery Tour prize.
Commenting, brand home manager at the distillery Leigh Aitken said: “Being crowned the World’s Leading Whisky Distillery Tour is a moment we will never forget.
“Scotland is home to so many fabulous whisky experiences so to be awarded this accolade is truly an honour.”
It’s not the first time the distillery has picked up a big prize as we told last year how it picked up a visitor attraction of the year award in 2023.
The distillery produces 12-year-old, 15-year-old and 18-year-old single malts.
Aitken added: “Our team work exceptionally hard to give guests the best possible experience.
“Whether it’s trying exclusive and rare whiskies, listening to live music sessions at our Singleton Sessions, or enjoying the wonderful stories associated with The Singleton History, our visitors always leave with plenty of memories and a strong desire to return.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
