The Singleton Special Release 2022
15 Year Old Cask Strength Whisky
A lively expression of The Singleton of Glen Ord; smooth and sweet, with elegant winey notes intermingled with luscious red fruits, it is also spicy-dry, with a gingery heat. Matured in refill American & European Oak, then double matured in wine-seasoned casks.
ABV: 54.2%
A mesmerizing malt, in which beguiling, subtle wine-fruit notes entwine seductively with the layered, smooth, and rich distillery character.
- Brief note
- The creamy vanilla and cranberry tangles. Rich honey and magical spices dancing on the palate. And finally, a lengthy pepper-heat lingers in a last kiss of silken spice.
- Conclusion
-
Appearance: |
Deep, lustrous amber. |
Nose: |
Dry overall, the gentle nose gives a vinous first impression, backed by spicy, woody notes of oak shavings and beech. Alluring aromas of tart red berry fruit and creamy vanilla spread among them, and a hint of wax appears in the development. |
Body: |
Medium |
Palate: |
An ultra-smooth, mouth-filling texture prefaces a lively, intense taste; barley-sugar sweet, with a pinch of salt. That sweetness becomes pleasantly tart, with suggestions of gooseberry and crisp grape. |
Finish: |
Lengthy and palate-drying, as pepper-heat lingers in a last kiss of silken spice. |
