Singleton of Glen Ord 17 Year Old Special Release 2025

The nose opens gently with orchard fruit; think baked apples, pear, and a touch of peach, alongside soft vanilla and honey. As it breathes, subtle spice emerges, with cinnamon, nutmeg, and mild oak. On the palate, there’s a balance between sweet malt, caramelised sugar, and dried stone fruits such as apricot or fig, tempered by warming oak tannin and gentle spice. The finish is long and mellow with lingering fruit, soft vanilla, oak, and a hint of toasted nuts. Best enjoyed neat to appreciate its full profile, or with a few drops of water to ease the oak and draw out additional fruit notes.
