- Description
- Glen Ord's 2016 vintage, bottled by Signatory at 57.1% abv, spent its nine years in first-fill Oloroso hogshead and second-fill Oloroso butts that dominate the spirit's profile with sherry influence. The cask selection builds layers of dried fruit, warm spice, and oak character typical of Oloroso-matured Highland whisky. The cask strength proof amplifies texture and flavor without masking the distillery's underlying spirit character. Best savored neat or with minimal water by those favoring sherry-forward Highland expressions.
