The Singleton Glen Ord “Into the Blue” Aged 17 Years Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 2025 Special Release

Step into a realm of intrigue and elegance with The Singleton of Glen Ord 17 Year Old Special Release 2025. This stirring Speyside single malt breaks convention by marrying two distinct maturation paths: one portion spent years in refill casks before further ageing in ex-mezcal casks, the other refined through second-fill Spanish sherry butts.

The result? A whisky at 55.5% ABV that carries the heritage of Glen Ord and the daring of experimental cask stories.

On the nose, you’ll sense honeyed pear and apple-strudel sweetness, vanilla cream, baked citrus peel, and a subtle hint of struck-match sulphur—mezcal’s whisper in the background. The palate follows with notes of raisin, marmalade, roasted agave, cocoa nibs, toasted oak, and candied ginger, all balanced by a hint of green-chilli spice. Finish: long, savoury, pepper-warmed with leathery spice, drying oak, and a final echo of mezcal smoke.

It’s a dramatic expression that honors tradition yet ventures boldly into new flavor territory. Ideal for the collector or the discerning sipper who seeks the unexpected.
