Glen Ord The Singleton - 2018 Special Release Single Malt Scotch Whisky 14 Year Old

Colour

Deep amber with copper-bronze edges and a warm honey-gold glow.

Nose

Bright orchard fruits—pear and apple—pair with vanilla and honey. A citrus lift frames toasted almond and sultanas, hinting at European sherry cask influence. Spicy oak notes of cinnamon and nutmeg mingle with a polished malt aroma, while a touch of cocoa and warm, resinous oak reflects the whisky’s unique maturation and marrying process.

Palate

Opulent and generous, this 14-year Glen Ord coats the palate with honeyed sweetness, dried fig and raisin, brightened by orange zest and almond brittle. Rich toffee frames warm spice—clove and white pepper—while refined oak from refill American hogsheads and ex-bodega European butts delivers vanilla, cocoa nib, and a long, seamless finish.

Finish

Long, warming finish with refined oak spice and a velvet sweetness that slowly fades to dried fruit, cocoa, and toasted almond. Subtle citrus zest threads through the tail, leaving a polished, lingering warmth.
