Description: The Singleton 12 Glen Ord is a smooth and balanced single malt Scotch whisky produced at the Glen Ord distillery in the Scottish Highlands. Though it is a Highland whisky, the Glen Ord expression of The Singleton is specifically bottled for the Asian market, while expressions from Dufftown and Glendullan are distributed to other markets. The whisky is aged in a combination of American oak and European sherry casks.
TASTING NOTES
Aroma: Fruity scents of plums, apples, and cherries combine with notes of vanilla and honey. The use of sherry casks contributes a nuanced, subtly sweet character. Some reviewers also note a malty aroma with hints of caramel, nuts, and a delicate touch of spice.
Taste: The palate is smooth and rich, with creamy flavors of milk chocolate, toffee, brown sugar, and cooked apples. A delicate spiciness, such as ginger, also comes through, with hints of raisins and dark chocolate on the finish.
Finish: The finish is described as lingering and pleasant, with earthy, nutty, and mildly sweet notes. The influence of the European oak provides a fragrant, sometimes slightly spicy or dry, finish.
