Intro/Heritage:
From the hidden Highland gem of Glen Ord comes this masterfully aged 18-year-old Singleton, a whisky defined by time, texture, and quiet elegance. Patiently matured in both American and European oak, it delivers richness without weight, complexity without showmanship.

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Soft and expressive. Poached pear, dark honey, orange peel, and baking spices float through hints of polished oak and toasted almond.
Palate: Silky and composed. Layers of stewed fruit, brown sugar, malted biscuit, and nutmeg glide over a velvety structure with a gentle citrus lift.
Finish: Long and warming. Dried fig, soft oak tannin, and a mellow, chocolatey sweetness leave a graceful final note.

Production Details:
Aged for 18 years in a combination of refill American bourbon casks and ex-sherry European oak. Bottled at 40% ABV, this expression showcases Glen Ord’s naturally rich, slow-fermenting spirit, shaped by copper stills and Highland patience.
