The Singleton Glen Ord 14YO Autumn Walk Single Malt Whisky 750ml

What if we made a whisky bathed in the soft warmth of autumn light? Picture walking through a forest on the slopes of a Pyrenean mountain - a perfect moment of carefree joy. Fallen Autumn leaves carpet the path ahead, conversations cocooned by red and orange. Look up. Rays of golden light split between the canopy, framing a gradient sky.

Matured in first-fill bourbon casks, then part-finished with the lively influence of Pyrenean and Spanish oak cask ends, this intriguing new expression of The Singleton of Glen Ord offers rich flavours with an unexpected spicy complexity. It's a refined and complex single malt, delivering a sweeter, spicier, and drier profile compared to other expressions, while still preserving the distillery's signature notes of orange peel and candle wax.

Nose:

Orange cream cake filling with a hint of vanilla. Beneath this lie a faintly waxy suggestion of flaked almonds and a light 'green' note, suggesting sugar snap peas or mange tout. A drop of water increases the waxy note.

Palate:

A creamy texture, which is quite tooth-coating. A strong hint of Seville orange peel, then peppery spiciness. A drop of water sweetens the taste and reduces the tartness yet does not alter the overall profile.

Finish:

Long, warming, and spicy, with a mouth-cooling aftertaste. Still spicy with a dash of water.
