The Singleton Of Glen Ord 15 Years Special Release 2022 Whisky

The Singleton of Glen Ord 15 Year Old Special Release 2022 is a Highland single malt Scotch whisky celebrated for its rich, layered complexity. Bottled as part of Diageo's limited 2022 Special Releases collection, this expression was matured for at least 15 years in a combination of refill American and European oak casks before being finished in casks seasoned with wine.

Bottled at cask strength of 54.2% ABV without chill filtration, it opens with a dry, vinous nose of oak shavings, tart red berries and creamy vanilla. The palate is smooth and mouth-filling, barley-sugar sweet with a pinch of salt, turning pleasantly tart with gooseberry and crisp grape. The finish is lengthy and palate-drying, as pepper heat lingers alongside silken spice. A little water brings out extra sweetness and a trace of fondant.
