The Singleton
Product Details
The Singleton of Glen Ord, 40 Year Old, Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 70cl
In the Epicurean Odyssey Series, Malt Master Maureen Robinson set out to push secondary maturation in experimental casks to the extremes, and then layer on further deliberate enhancements to create our most indulgent whiskies ever. In this last release of the series The Singleton of Glen Ord 40-year-old pushes the boundaries of taste with an astonishingly bold and pioneering 28 years secondary maturation experiment; finished in ex-Zacapa XO & Royal casks, yielding decadent & velvet dark chocolate. Intensely rich, fruity, and smooth, this decadent single malt has an indulgent nature to please all the senses and is a delight to savour at natural strength. Its silky smoothness leads to a deep, dark indulgence and a spicy finish, delivering a richness of taste to equal any spirit.
Nose
The nose is mellow, with a little prickle at first; fruity top notes hint at dried apple and are soon backed by a more savoury aroma evoking sage, while richer hints of fruit, soon suggesting plums enrobed in dark chocolate, sit on a balancing base of sweetly spicy oak, with light aromas of hard toffee and oak shavings.
Body
Light to Medium.
Palate
Quite long, deep-flavoured and lightly drying, with black pepper spice and another hint of waxy smoke.
Finish
Quite long, deep-flavoured and lightly drying, with black pepper spice and another hint of waxy smoke.
