The Singleton of Glen Ord 17 years old Into The Blue Special Release 2025 is a Speyside single malt from the Glen Ord distillery bottled in the Diageo Special Releases series 2025. This Glen Ord matured in refill casks followed by a finish in ex-Mezcal and ex-sherry casks. It got bottled in 2025 at natural cask strength of 55,5% ABV, non chill filtered and with no added colour, as a limited edition small batch release.
Official tasting notes:
Nose: mild nose in feel, dry and aromatic, with very light oriental spices suggesting nutmeg or cinnamon. A complex, tightly integrated aroma, in which elusive fruity top notes are suppressed by spirituous and slightly vegetal notes that evoke Mezcal, coming over as light spices rather than prickly alcohol. Below this can be found a little dry raisin fruit. A dash of water enhances the overall aroma, which remains elusive.
Palate: Smooth in texture and sweet and slightly salty in taste, with rich gingery-spicy notes lending weight to the savoury finish. A delicious, exciting and well-balanced dram that takes whisky flavour to a new place not previously reached in The Singleton of Glen Ord.
Finish: Quite long, savoury and warmly spicy, with a shake of white pepper. A dash of water enhances things, while the balance of tastes remains unchanged.
