Tasting notes

Color

Deep straw yellow

Aroma

Soft and gentle, with appetising aromas of baked apple and orange zest, beeswax, crystallized orange and cedar-like spice. Grows sweeter, with hints of brown sugar and sponge cake; then fruity, with red apple and honey. Finally, embracing warmth.

Taste

Smooth, sweet and spicy, with some acidity, even a shake of salt. Fruity, with a lightly smoky-savoury edge. Raisin-rich, with smooth barley sugar, before growing powerful and mint-clean; then drier and lightly chalky.

Finish

Long, with an enduring warmth. Clean and pleasingly bitter, with a gentle, cleansing pine-dryness.

About the Producer Story


The Diageo Special Releases 2018 collection features a single malt Scotch usually reserved for sale in the far east. Feast your eyes on The Singleton of Glen Ord, a complex dram thanks to the five-cask maturation process it undergoes across 14 years. It was aged initially in ex-sherry European oak and ex-bourbon refill American oak casks before it was moved to ex-Pedro Ximénez and Moscatel casks. Finally, it was married together in European oak puncheons before it was bottled at a cask strength 57.6% ABV.
