Singleton Glen Ord 12 Year Old 1L 40%

The Singleton of Glen Ord 12 Year Old Scotch Whisky is rich, smooth and perfectly balanced. Considered one of world’s best tasting Single Malt Scotch Whiskies it is perfumed with hints of apples and sherry, the aromas move on to the palate and a deeper compexity is found with a creamy dark chocolate and toffee sweetness along with violets and rich hazelnut. A fine and lingering finish.

Tasting Note

Nose: Unhesitating and substantial. Initially winy topnotes rapidly evolve into fresher, sweeter plummy fruits offset by zesty, oily orange peel. Then, there are aromas of rich caramel toffees and chocolate accompanied by malty biscuits.

Palate: Immediate, smooth and cooling. Subtly coating, with a clever balance of gentle fruit tartness (preserved plums) and gingery, rich, sweet malt. Becoming gradually lighter and cleaner on the palate with faint, appetising late notes of toasted coconut.

Finish: Medium in length and very, very rounded. A beautiful balance of lightly cleansing fruit notes and gingery toasted maltiness; a smooth texture, like caramel toffees or good chocolate slowly melting on the tongue. Late notes of cocoa and cool mint.
