The Singleton

The Singleton 38 Year Old Cask Strength Whisky

The Epicurean Odyssey Series was born to embody this singular ambition in the pursuit of amazing taste. For the first in the series of this singular pursuit of indulgent favour, The Singleton 38-year-old delivers a supremely decadent favour profile based around baked apple caramel drizzle.
The whisky is matured initially in American oak barrels for 12 years, before being moved over to a selection of bourbon, Pedro Ximénez sherry, Oloroso sherry and new oak casks for a particularly long second maturation - the longest in The Singleton's history in 26 years! Created to be shared and enjoyed, the Glen Ord 38 Year Old was bottled at 49.6% abv, limited to 1,689 bottles globally.
ABV: 49.6%

Nose:
Mellow and generous overall. The immediate top notes are rich, fruity, and sweet, with aromas of red apple, mango, pineapple, and candied citrus fruits. These fruity tones are soon succeeded by almond oil and vanilla pod, and later vanilla fudge, on a base of sandalwood.

Palate:
A thick, creamy texture and a vibrant, sweet start in which rich opening notes of fudge lead smoothly into a lightly spicy, intense, and fruity taste suggesting cinnamon-spiced baked apple, drying gently into an autumnal peppery warmth that envelopes the palate.
