Glen Ord Single Malt Scotch 30 year A visit to Glen Ord, on the edge of the Black Isle in the Highlands west of Inverness, is a delight to both the eye and the palate. The Glen Ord distillery has been founded in 1838.
First owner were Robert Johnstone and Donald McLennan. The company which owned the distillery, "Ord Distillers Co" changed several times from owner until James Watson & Co purchased it in 1896. Watch
their distillers at work creating a magicial malt whisky which is sweet, malty and dry on the palate.
It takes thirty long years at Glen Ord, but the ritual remains unchanged. It is this patient maturation in oak casks which allows it to absorb all its rich flavours. The air, saturated with salty sea-spray and the scent of peat and heather, makes its way between the sections of the barrels and caresses the alcohol throughout its entire maturation, until it have left the fine traces of its imprint. And by the time the whisky is finally fully mature, it has thus acquired a unique flavour, both complex and smooth, each subtle note a reminder of the characteristics of its origin.
The whisky marketed by the distillery has had several different names during the last years: Glen Oran, Glen Ordie and Glen Ord.
About 10% of the production is marketed as single malt, the remaining being used in the blends
Johnnie Walker and
Dewar's.
An exceptional nose, both peppery and very fresh. Very expressive and very promising. The finish is rather long, spicy and smoothly malted. This bottle seems to get better and better.
