GLEN ORD 11 ans 2012 Bourbon Barrel 100 Proof Signatory Vintage

This Glen Ord, distilled in 2012, was aged in bourbon casks for 11 years before being bottled at 57.10%. This Highland single malt has a light, fruity profile, with aromas of peach, apple and spice.

In 2007, the Diageo group launched a new range of single malts under the generic name ‘The Singleton’. Owners of the Glen Ord distillery, a 12-year-old version of this single malt was offered to the Asian market, while a Glendullan was launched in the USA and a Dufftown in Europe. This version of Glen Ord followed two others launched in the 1990s and early 2000s. With a production capacity of 5 million litres of pure alcohol a year, Glen Ord is one of Scotland's largest distilleries. Its malt contributes mainly to the Johnnie Walker and Dewars blends.

Produced from a selection of casks with older age counts and still very marked sherry, the ‘100 proof exceptional’ range refers to the British system of measuring alcohol content, which corresponds to the famous ‘Navy Strength’. At 57.1% proof, this range highlights various distilleries, which express themselves with great intensity while retaining the aromatic richness that is the hallmark of Signatory Vintage's ageing expertise. A range to take your tasting further and rediscover the ageing work of this independent bottler.
