Description

Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 
Distillery Bottling 70cl / 54.2%

A 15-year-old Singleton of Glen Ord released at its full cask strength of 54.2% for Diageo's 2022 Special Releases, and portraying something called The Enchantress of The Ruby Solstice.

A new Glen Ord is always welcome, as so little of the distillery's whisky is seen on these shores since the regrettable decision in the mid-Noughties to withdraw it from Europe and focus on promoting Singleton of Glen Ord in the Far East markets.

This 2022 Diageo Special Releases Glen Ord 15-year-old began life in refill European and American oak casks before being switched mid-term for a full eight years in red wine casks, making this a truly double-matured whisky.

Tasting Notes

Official Tasting Notes

Appearance: Deep, lustrous amber.

Nose:
Dry overall, the gentle nose gives a vinous first impression, backed by spicy, woody notes of oak shavings and beech. Alluring aromas of tart red berry fruit and creamy vanilla spread among them, and a hint of wax appears in the development. 
A little water softens the nose and relaxes the aroma, without great alteration.

Body:
Medium.

Palate:
An ultra-smooth, mouth-filling texture prefaces a lively, intense taste; barley-sugar sweet, with a pinch of salt. That sweetness becomes pleasantly tart, with suggestions of gooseberry and crisp grape. At reduced strength, it is not as tart, but still spicy; the sweetness is highlighted yet the appetising spicy heat remains.

Finish:
Lengthy and palate-drying, as pepper-heat lingers in a last kiss of silken spice. With water sweeter, now with a trace of fondant in the aftertaste.
