Singleton of Glen Ord 17 Year Old Special Release 2025 Into the Blue Single Malt Scotch Whisky 55.5%

Singleton of Glen Ord 17 Year Old "Into the Blue" is a bold and imaginative single malt that explores new territories while preserving its Highland identity. As part of Diageo's Special Releases 2025, this edition showcases the distillery's adventurous spirit through an unusual maturation process that includes ex-Mezcal casks and second-fill ex-Sherry casks. The result is a whisky where sweetness, spice, and a touch of smoke merge into a rich and layered experience.

The nose immediately reveals a vibrant and fruity character. Dried apricot, caramel, and vanilla rise from the glass, creating warmth and depth. A subtle hint of agave and smoke from the Mezcal cask adds an exotic edge and hints at the complexity to come.

The palate is round and creamy with layers of tropical fruit, roasted nuts, and spiced honey. The Mezcal influence brings a delicate, smoky minerality that enhances the texture, while the sherry cask adds richness and a soft sweetness that balances the spice.

The finish is long and intricate with lingering notes of spice, nutty undertones, and a touch of toasted oak. It is a whisky that invites reflection and rewards curiosity, offering new nuances with every sip.
