Singleton Glen Ord 2019 Special Release 18 Year Old, American Oak Hogshead Cask, 2019, 55%

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 ... This 18 year old dram was aged in freshly charred American oak hogsheads, producing a complex, fruity and spicy final product. Bottled at a warming 55% ABV and without chill filtration or colouration, this is a rare chance to taste Glen Ord's spirit in a high quality format. It forms part of the 2019 Diageo Special Releases.
