- Description
- Glen Ord's 1997 distillation spent 20 years in bourbon wood before bottling at cask strength in 2017, capturing the Highland distillery at full intensity. The bourbon influence brings vanilla and oak sweetness to the distillery's characteristic heathery, slightly fruity profile. Chill-filtration and colouring were avoided to preserve the whisky's natural character. This cask strength dram suits whisky enthusiasts who appreciate uncompromised Highland spirit.
