The Singleton of Glen Ord
Now available to buy at Glen Ord Distillery… exclusive offer for distillery visitors only
Diageo launched a new 12-year-old single malt Scotch whisky, The Singleton Of Glen Ord™, in selected Asian markets back in 2006. Until now It has only been sold in Asia but now it is also available for visitors to Glen Ord Distillery itself. It will not be available elsewhere in the UK. The Singleton of Glen Ord is a rich, smooth-tasting, well-balanced whisky with distinctive packaging.
Glen Ord distillery was founded in 1838, making it one of the oldest in Scotland. Situated on the edge of the Black Isle west of Inverness, Glen Ord continues to malt its own barley and to use the long fermentation and slow distillation methods followed there for generations. For the new Singleton of Glen Ord, a higher proportion of the liquid has been matured in European oak, delivering a rich, smooth-tasting, well-rounded style.
The new single malt comes in a traditional 19th century-style blue glass flask with fresh, modern labelling with scripted lettering, a salmon emblem and back-label detail on the Glen Ord distillery giving it strong visual presence.
Bottling of the traditional Glen Ord™ 12 year old in its square decanter-style bottle has ceased but it remains available in some specialist outlets as well as at the distillery, until stocks run out.
Expert praise for The Singleton of Glen Ord ™
“...plenty of flavour and a fragrant finish...very skilfully composed. Beautifully balanced, very complex. A sophisticated all-rounder, at its best after dinner.”
The late Michael Jackson, world-renowned whisky expert, author and columnist.
“Smooth and rounded...as good an example (of this style) as I have ever tasted... I poured myself another immediately.”
Charlie Maclean, author of Malt Whisky and leading whisky writer.
