Full of flavour and very appetising indeed, this is the second special release from the only Northern Highlands distillery to retain its own maltings. Matured in a mixture of American and European Oak casks, there are only 3600 numbered bottles worldwide. Often described as “perilously drinkable”, it has only been available as a single malt in the last ten years and it is presented in a unique, hand etched Glen Ord decanter. Glen Ord is fresh, lively with well balanced flavours of honey and lemon juice, some acidity and dry spices. The finish is medium lenghth crisp, smoky and dry. Tremendous depth of flavour and balance, prompting Jim Murray to award this 95 points in his Whisky Bible.

Glen Ord 25 Years, 9.0 out of 10 based on 2 ratings

The nose is very rounded and sweet, yet rather nervous. Quite grassy at first nosing, on fern, hay, straw… Develops on smoked tea and camomile. Very, very good, with little wood influence, letting the distillery’s character shine through. Some nice whiffs of sea breeze (yes, I know, Ord isn’t really near the sea). Mouth: creamy but again quite nervous, bold and powerful. Lots of pepper, cooked apples and cinnamon. A bit of fructose, crystallised angelica, lemon peel… A very serious whisky that doesn’t play any dirty trick, and with a superb balance, at that. Most satisfying. 90 points.
