THE SINGLETON OF GLEN ORD 40 YEAR OLD – Whisky Exchange News
THE SINGLETON OF GLEN ORD
40 YEAR OLD

The Singleton has concluded its Epicurean Odyssey series with its most decadent release yet, a 40-year-old single malt from Glen Ord distillery. Led by malt master Maureen Robinson, this series of three single malts sets out to push the boundaries of maturation, using experimental casks to add layers of complexity.
For this final instalment, a 12-year-old Glen Ord was transferred to a series of rum casks where it underwent a jaw-dropping 28 year secondary maturation, followed by a finish in specially-selected Ron Zacapa XO solera casks for a few months. It’s rich and fruity with notes of velvety dark chocolate, juicy plums and toffee covered tropical fruits. This irresistible and rare single malt makes an indulgent addition to any whisky collection.

THE SINGLETON
Singleton Distillery
The Singleton collection of whiskies was introduced in 2006, to showcase the single malts of three acclaimed Scottish distilleries; Dufftown, Glen Ord and Glendullan. The range offers an introduction to the history and legacy of each distillery and showcases their particular styles, from the spicy, nutty single malts of Dufftown, to Glendullan’s fruity and grassy character, and the vibrant freshness of Glen Ord.
