- Description
- Glen Ord 12 Year Old from the early 2000s represents the distillery before its rebranding as The Singleton, with a sherried profile and spice character that distinguishes it from modern Glen Ord releases. Orchard fruit on the nose—apricot tart, vanilla ice cream—develops on a well-textured palate with both sweetness and subtle complexity. Bottled at 43% ABV, this vintage expression captures a particular moment in the distillery's evolution. Ideal for those exploring Highland Scotch heritage and distillery house style.
