With the festive season upon us, there’s no better way to be jolly than keeping company with The Singleton of Glen Ord, a rich, smooth and perfectly balanced single malt Scotch whisky.

The pinnacle of Highland flavours 
A super deluxe offering within The Singleton family, the award-winning Glen Ord makes the perfect gift for whisky lovers who appreciate a special treat and a depth of flavours. 

Glen Ord, one of oldest distilleries in Scotland, was founded on the Black Isle in the Scottish Highlands in 1838 by Thomas Mackenzie. Made using barley fermented slowly with the purest “water from the heavens and earth”, then very slowly batch distilled and matured in fine European and American oak casks, the whiskies are finished to perfection through the masterful skills of Maureen Robinson, one of the most experienced blenders in the industry.
