The Singleton of Glen Ord, 39 Year Old
The Singleton Epicurean Odyssey 39 Year Old is the second release in a three-part series and reflects an extended, complex maturation regime. The whisky spent its first 12 years in ex-bourbon casks, followed by a further 27 years in a combination of ex-port, red wine, PX and oloroso sherry casks, the longest secondary maturation in the distillery’s history. It was then briefly married in French Bordeaux barrels, adding a final layer of structure and depth.

Finish

The nose carries classic Christmas cake notes: sherried raisins, brandy snaps and warm spice. The palate hits immediately with sweetness and a waxy texture carrying blackberry crumble and baked apple. Wood spice grows steadily. The finish is long with lingering spice and a cool peppermint lift.
