- Description
- Glen Ord's 18-year-old from 1990, matured in a refill hogshead and independently bottled by Douglas Laing in 2008, represents the Highland distillery's oily, robust character. This single cask bottling would display the waxy body and heather notes typical of Glen Ord's spirit, with restrained oak influence from the refill wood. One of only 257 bottles, this represents a snapshot of the distillery's production from a pivotal era. Best appreciated by collectors seeking authentic Highland single cask expressions.
