Glen Ord Natural Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky 30 Year Old · 1975 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with coppery glow and mahogany undertones, a burnished, wine-dark richness that glints with warm ruby highlights.

Nose

Opulent nose redolent of dried fig, raisin and black cherry, layered with toffee and dark chocolate. Sherry-rich oak delivers vanilla, almond and spice—cinnamon, clove—while leather and a whisper of tobacco lend depth. A warm, cocoa-dusted sweetness hints at the cask-strength maturity.

Palate

Opulent and full-bodied, this natural cask strength Glen Ord coats the palate with dark figs and raisins, carried by sherried sweetness and treacle. Rich cocoa, vanilla and toasted oak weave with cinnamon and clove, while a peppery warmth from 58.7% lingers. The finish is long and luxurious, with dried fruit, coffee and tobacco notes settling into a warm, resinous glow.

Finish

Velvety, long and warming, with dark chocolate and dried fig lingering beside toasted oak. Spices—cinnamon and clove—unfold slowly, complemented by subtle sherry sweetness and a hint of orange zest, then a refined, drying finish of leather and walnut.
