Glen Ord
Tasting Notes
A delightful expression from the Singleton of Glen Ord, this 18-year-old whisky captivates with its vibrant aromas of citrusy orange peel and juicy berries. Upon adding a splash of water, the fruity notes intensify, allowing the zesty orange to take center stage. The palate is greeted by a warming embrace of orange flavors, accompanied by a tingle of spice that perfectly complements the rich chocolate and caramel undertones. With a touch of water, the taste becomes smoother and sweeter, while retaining a pleasant warming sensation on the first sip. The spicy notes persist, harmoniously balanced by the refreshing orange and berry fruit flavors. The finish is remarkably long-lasting, leaving a warming sensation on the palate and a drying mouthfeel. Even after adding water, the finish remains smooth and spicy, lingering delightfully on the tongue. Truly a rare gem by nature, this whisky's label aptly depicts a fish longingly eyeing blackberries, capturing the essence of the Special Releases 2019 theme.
