Singleton Glen Ord 15 Years Special Release 2022 Speyside Malt [700ML]

Description

What happens when Scotland’s most northerly mainland distillery meets eight years of ruby-red wine cask finishing?

The Singleton Glen Ord 15 Years Special Release 2022 represents Diageo’s masterful exploration of wine cask maturation, marking only the second time this Highland distillery has graced their prestigious annual collection. This limited edition expression transforms traditional Speyside character through an extraordinary dual-maturation process that rivals other exceptional aged expressions like the Tomintoul 16 Years Speyside Single Malt and Mortlach 12 Years Speyside expressions.

• Region: Speyside – renowned for elegant, complex single malts
• ABV: 40% – perfectly balanced for approachable complexity
