The Singleton of Glen Ord 15 Year Old has been released as part of the Diageo Special Releases 2022, but with a unique twist. After its initial maturation for seven years in American and European oak casks, this whisky was then transferred to wine casks for an additional eight years. This extended finishing period in wine casks gives the whisky a soft and fruity character, with extra layers of rich dark fruit and spice.
Bottled at 54.2% ABV, this limited release features a striking illustration of The Enchantress of the Ruby Solstice on the label. According to legend, an enchantress once lived near the River Ord, where The Singleton of Glen Ord sources its water. During each solstice, she would gaze upon the river and weave its currents into rich, ruby-red wine. These charmed currents then imparted a luscious and alluring character to the whisky.
The nose of this whisky is oaky and dry, with aromas of red berries. The palate is vibrant, spicy, and full-bodied, with a long, spicy, and dry finish. The whisky's rich flavor is the result of its enchanting origins, as it is the last single malt distillery on the Black Isle. The Singleton of Glen Ord's exceptional expression is aged for eight years in wine barrels, creating glimmers of deep amber and enticing aromas of red wine, oak spice, and fruit. The velvety smooth palate sings with notes of orange, peach, raspberry, fresh and dried fruits, and spiced baked apple, with toasted oak and hints of toffee in the background.
