The Singleton, near Inverness, is reopening this week following a complete 
renovation. Set to welcome guests from around the world, the new attraction has 
been designed with the brand's Epicurean spirit in mind.

Inspired by a passion for making perfectly balanced, delicious whisky, the new 
distillery site will welcome guests into a tantalising world of taste and 
flavour. The newly designed distillery bar will serve exceptional food and 
drink whilst the beautiful deli will be stocked with some of the finest fare 
Scotland has to offer. With a grand copper-encased entrance and an industrial 
palette of brick, concrete, wood and copper, every aspect of the new visitor 
experience has been designed to make guests feel at home.

The new distillery tour focuses on the art of whisky-making and the craft of 
distilling. Taking a deep dive into Singleton's signature 'Slow Craft' process, 
visitors will learn why and how the brand's methods result in such delicious 
whisky.

Celebrity chef and whisky lover, Tony Singh, created a special menu that pairs 
perfectly with The Singleton of Glen Ord Celebratory Bottling, a special 
edition whisky created to commemorate the opening. Born and raised in Leith, 
Edinburgh, Tony is an iconic Scottish restauranteur best known for using 
high-quality Scottish produce in an arty yet accessible style.

Tony has combined fantastic Scottish produce with his Indian roots, looking at 
whisky heritage and traditions that date back hundreds of years, to update 
classic Indian recipes that have been passed down through generations. The 
result of which are dishes that not only pair perfectly with the new 
limited-edition liquid but are also steeped in history.

menu at home.

Marking the official opening, Tony Singh said: "Scotland is rich with 
exceptional quality food and drink, and it is wonderful to see that being 
celebrated at the new distillery experience. Scotch whisky is the country's 
leading export to the world and a magnet for international tourism. It is great 
for Scotland to see Scotch whisky brands like The Singleton making the 
connection between their delicious single malt and Scotland's rich larder of 
local produce."

Located at the beginning, or end, of the NorthCoast500 - Scotland's answer to 
Route 66 - The Singleton is perfectly situated to round off any visit to the 
Scottish Highlands.

Barbara Smith, Managing Director of Diageo's Scotland Brand Homes, said: "The 
Singleton is one of the most exciting single malt brands in the world and we 
are delighted to be opening the doors to the brand's new home at Glen Ord 
Distillery. Our £185million pound investment in Scotch whisky tourism is 
designed to put Scotland at the forefront of the global trend in food and drink 
tourism by giving consumers a truly world-class experience at our distilleries. 
This is just the start of an incredible summer of Scotch whisky investment, 
with Talisker and Caol Ila also launching new visitor experiences, and we want 
to use that to build momentum in the recovery of Scottish tourism."

The Singleton is the latest distillery and visitor experience to open as part 
of Diageo's investment in whisky tourism in Scotland. Glenkinchie, Clynelish 
and Cardhu distilleries have recently re-opened as part of the ambitious 
project which re-imagines the traditional whisky tour experience. The 
centrepiece of the investment programme, the Johnnie Walker Princes Street 
global visitor attraction, opened in Edinburgh in September last year.

Building a modern visitor experience that is inclusive was also integral to the 
planning and Diageo worked closely with Euan's Guide, a disabled access charity 
to make The Singleton more accessible, including one of the only Changing 
Places toilet in the region. The Singleton holds a Green Tourism Gold Award – 
the highest sustainability accolated for a visitor attraction.
