The Singleton of Glen Ord 17 Year Old Special Release 2025

The Singleton Glen Ord 17 Year Old｜2025 Special Release｜Cask Strength, Exceptionally Smooth｜An Elegant Fusion of Speyside and Highland Characteristics

【Product Specifications】 Origin: Highlands, Scotland Brand: The Singleton of Glen Ord Age: 17 Years ABV: 54.2% ABV (Cask Strength - actual batch may vary) Volume: 700ml Features: Part of the 2025 Diageo Special Releases series. Matured in refill American Oak Hogsheads, non-chill filtered, and bottled at cask strength, highlighting the distillery's purest verdant fruit notes and creamy texture.

【2025 Special Release: A High-Aged Interpretation of Slow Craftsmanship】 The Singleton has always been dedicated to creating an exceptionally smooth texture through its "slow craftsmanship" philosophy. In the 2025 Special Releases, this 17-year-old expression from the Glen Ord distillery breaks away from the gentle impression of the regular 40% bottling, opting instead for a Cask Strength presentation. This not only preserves the profound layers brought by 17 years of maturation but also imparts unprecedented vitality and intensity to the liquid. For enthusiasts accustomed to The Singleton's smooth style, this is a surprising "advanced" masterpiece.

【The Soul of Glen Ord: A Grand Concerto of Fruitiness and Oily Richness】 Glen Ord is the most distinctive member of The Singleton family. This 17-year-old limited edition is matured in refill American oak casks. This choice effectively prevents excessive oak tannins from overshadowing the distillery's character, allowing the tropical fruit aromas, beeswax notes, and silky creamy richness, honed over 17 years, to take center stage.

【Tasting Notes】 This is a whisky that tastes like dessert in an orchard on a summer afternoon:

• Nose: Very open and rich. Ripe pears, white peaches, and candied orange peel emerge first. This is followed by shortbread, a hint of nectar, and a refreshing herbal greenness.

• Palate: The entry is exceptionally rounded, showcasing The Singleton's signature silky texture. The sweetness of tropical fruits perfectly merges with vanilla and toffee flavors from the Bourbon casks, with a slight hint of ginger spice and malty sweetness in the mid-palate.

• Finish: The finish is medium-long and very warm. Lingering on the palate are delicate oak spices, white chocolate notes, and a persistent, refreshing fruity sweetness.

【Serving Suggestion】 It is recommended to try it neat first. Although the ABV exceeds 54%, its oily richness perfectly balances the alcoholic warmth. Adding a few drops of pure water will swiftly unlock its layers, making the previously subtle fruit aromas brighter and more expressive, ideal for pairing with light cheeses or dried fruits.
