Description

The Black Isle in the northern Highlands is rich with whisky history, where illicit moonshiners shared the land with several licensed distillers. The Glen Ord distillery, built in 1838 and owned by a local Laird called Thomas MacKenzie, was one of the latter. The region has always been fertile with barley, making it an ideal location, and allowing the distillery to be self-sufficient, with its own maltings. This 12-year-old expression was a popular dram, known for being an exuberantly spicy malt with sherry influence, and a fine example of the Highland style. It was later discontinued and largely replaced by The Singleton of Glen Ord, primarily for the Asian market.

Series highlights
This is a 1990s bottling of the long-serving 12 year old core-expression, which was later repackaged into a square bottle in 2002 and then rebranded as part of The Singleton range in 2006.
Historical context
This original distillery bottling of Glen Ord was produced while the distillery was still under the ownership of John Dewar & Sons prior to the sale of the Dewar's brand to Bacardi in 1998. It was discontinued in the early 2000s.

Nose
Leather and nutty at first, with pear, oranges, honey, and vanilla tones. Rounded with sweet, dry malt notes and a whiff of peat. Very fresh and rich creamy, a classic Highland profile, with malty, light oak, and mossiness.
Palate
A light touch of sherry, malty and very clean, with barley-sugar sweetness and a spicy gingery note, followed by a restrained malty dryness and a crisp hint of peat. Creamy and full of flavors, rich malty, a bit salty with vanilla and oak in the background. Dry, crisp, and quite oaky with light honey and orange.
Finish
Dry, gingery, spicy, citric, and smooth. Short-medium, with a bit of peat smoke and lovely spicy malt notes. Dry, short but appetising.
