Singleton of Glen Ord 17 y.o. - Diageo Special Releases 2025

Special features: This 17-year-old Highland Single Malt Whisky from the Glen Ord Distillery is presented as part of the limited Diageo Special Releases 2025. It is characterized by an innovative cask maturation: Initially matured in refill American oak casks, it then received a finish in Mexican ex-Mezcal casks as well as in second-fill European oak casks. This special combination gives the whisky a unique flavor profile and highlights the experimental cask selection of the distillery.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: A mild, dry bouquet with hints of oriental spices like nutmeg and cinnamon. Underpinned by subtle fruity notes reminiscent of dried raisins and toasted oak. A touch of Mezcal adds an earthy depth to the aroma.
• Palate: Smooth and full-bodied, the whisky presents a balanced mix of sweet and salty elements. Spicy ginger notes and a slight saltiness complement the tasting experience.
• Finish: Long and warm with a subtle spiciness of white pepper. A hint of minerality and a fine spiciness accompany the finish and leave a lasting impression.

Distillery/Bottler: The Glen Ord Distillery, founded in 1838, is one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland.
