Flavour notes

The aroma opens softly, with a fine initial prickle and fruit coming forward first. Dried apple leads the way, followed by sage, ripe fruit and plums wrapped in dark chocolate. Wood spice forms the base, and with a drop of water a light smokiness begins to appear.

On the palate it is decadent and gentle, with the first wave of fruit gaining extra shape from a saline touch and the acidity of small plums. Then the layers build: pears in chocolate, caramelised tropical fruit, banana and pineapple in toffee. A pleasant pepper note rises slowly, while water brings the fruit even more clearly into focus.

The finish is long, intense and lightly drying, with black pepper and a return of subtle waxy smoke.

Product info about Singleton Of Ord 40y

Singleton Of Ord 40y is part of Singleton's Epicurean Odyssey Series, a range built around the pursuit of deeply pleasurable flavour through extended maturation. The remarkable point here is the role of the second maturation: it is not a brief finishing touch, but a major part of the whisky's life.

This 40-year-old Glen Ord was moved into rum casks when it was 12 years old, then left to mature there for almost three further decades. That means the secondary maturation lasted more than twice as long as the initial one. Just before bottling, the casks were brought together in solera vats that had previously held Zacapa XO and Royal Rum, allowing the whisky to settle into its final balance.

At Drankenshop Broekmans, this is the kind of release we like to explain slowly, because the maturation story says so much about the whisky. Limited to 1716 bottles, it brings together Highland maturity, long rum-cask influence, dark chocolate, sun-ripened fruit and a measured layer of wood spice.

About GLEN ORD

Glen Ord was founded as early as 1838 by Thomas MacKenzie. It is currently the 4th largest single malt distillery of Diageo in Scotland. The distillery is located just on the 'Black Isle', north of Inverness in the Highlands. Glen Ord makes great efforts to recover heat and energy, among other things by using special condensers that store heat to be reused later in other parts of the production process. Glen Ord is also still one of the few distilleries in Scotland with its own malting facility. That makes sense, since the Black Isle is famous for barley cultivation and thus everything is within easy reach.

Frequently asked questions

What kind of whisky is Singleton Of Ord 40y?

Singleton Of Ord 40y is a single malt whisky.

The word 'single' causes some confusion for many. A single malt is nothing more and nothing less than a product from a single distillery. So it has nothing to do with a single cask or even casks of the same age.

Single malt whisky is made from malted barley and distilled in the famous copper pot stills, the distinctive copper stills.

Is Singleton Of Ord 40y a no age statement whisky (NAS)?

No, Singleton Of Ord 40y is not a no age statement (NAS) whisky. The label explicitly states an age and that age represents the youngest whisky found in the bottle (or in the blend).

Is Singleton Of Ord 40y a single cask whisky?

No, Singleton Of Ord 40y is not a single cask whisky.

Is Singleton Of Ord 40y a whisky at cask strength?

No, Singleton Of Ord 40y is not whisky at cask strength.

Is Singleton Of Ord 40y suitable to give as a gift?

Although this Singleton Of Ord 40y is not or does not have explicit gift packaging, it can certainly make an excellent gift. Gift packs are usually taken as a safe choice of gift because brands often combine the most accessible or their most popular whisky combine with a fun accessory in a nice gift pack. But if you are looking for a gift for an experienced whisky-drinker they may not be waiting for yet another glass and then this one Singleton Of Ord 40y might even be a better choice than such a gift pack.

Is Singleton Of Ord 40y een goede keuze voor mij?

This Singleton Of Ord 40y can be a whisky that suits you if you like a whisky with a woody character. Indeed, this woodiness is quite emphatic in the flavour profile.

However, we recommend that you also check out the rest of the flavour profile, as this is of course only one part of the overall character of this whisky.

Is Singleton Of Ord 40y a tarred whisky?

No, there is no peat in the flavour profile in this Singleton Of Ord 40y whisky . The absence of any smokiness therefore makes it suitable for those who do not like a peat flavour.

Is Singleton Of Ord 40y a spicy whisky?

Yes, Singleton Of Ord 40y is a whisky with a fairly spicy flavour profile: the spiciness of this whisky will be discernible right from the first sip from your glass.

The spiciness of a spirit can come about in different ways.

  • In whisky, the spicy notes mainly arise during the maturation process in wooden casks. The type of wood used (e.g. American oak, European oak) and whether the casks have been used before (e.g. sherry casks) have a big influence on the spiciness of the whisky that comes out of them.
  • With rum, the spicy notes can also come from the barrels used, but in addition there is also a separate class of "Spiced rum" where extra spices are added.
  • Gin has a much shorter production cycle and therefore does not usually get its spiciness from wood. Spicy notes in a gin are usually the direct result of the botanicals used to "colour" the gin and give it its own identity.
Is Singleton Of Ord 40y a fruity whisky?

Yes, Singleton Of Ord 40y is a whisky with a moderately fruity flavour profile: the fruitiness of this whisky will be discernible right from the first sip from your glass.

  • Whiskies with a fruity character can range from light and fresh apple notes to deep, ripe stone fruit and exotic aromas. This fruitiness can come from the grains, yeast and fermentation used, the shape of the pot stills and the cask type.
  • Rum made from sugar cane or molasses lends itself ideally to fruity notes. From the fresh citrus aromas of a white rum to the deep pineapple and banana notes of an aged variety - fruitiness is an essential characteristic in many rums. Again, the same factors affect fruitiness as with whisky.
Do you drink Singleton Of Ord 40y pure or with ice?

Whether you drink this Singleton Of Ord 40y whisky best with or without ice is a personal choice. We have always chosen not to take a stance on adding water or ice to whisky. There are certainly good reasons to add a little water to your whisky, but whether it adds value to you or detracts from your enjoyment is something you should mainly discover for yourself.

Does Singleton Of Ord 40y have a high alcohol content?

The alcohol content of this Singleton Of Ord 40y is higher than what you would expect from an average whisky expect. While not extremely exceptional, a whisky of around 46% is somewhat rarer anyway. Most whisky is usually closer to 40%.

Is Singleton Of Ord 40y an independent bottling?

No, Singleton Of Ord 40y is an official bottling of Glen Ord.

Is Singleton Of Ord 40y suitable for an Irish Coffee?

To make an Irish Coffee according to the rules of the art, you need an Irish whiskey. Since you are going to mix it with coffee and whipped cream, we recommend using a good, but not overpriced whiskey. This Singleton Of Ord 40y is a whiskey, but because this whiskey comes from Scotland it is not the best choice to make a "real" Irish Coffee.

Did you know that the first Irish Coffee was invented in 1942 by bartender Joe Sheridan? He was working at the airport in Foynes, in the west of Ireland. The barman saw some tired passengers and figured they needed coffee with something special. To perk them up, he poured them coffee with a dash of whiskey mixed in and some coffee on top. When asked if it was Brazilian coffee, Sheridon replied, "No, my friend, this is Irish Coffee." And so it was.

Is Singleton Of Ord 40y vegan?

According to the data currently available to us, we cannot state with certainty that this product is vegan and this claim is not explicitly made by the brand.

Is Singleton Of Ord 40y a biological whisky?

Based on the information available to us, we can conclude that this Singleton Of Ord 40y whisky from Glen Ord is not an organic product.

How do I get started on Scotch whisky?

Many people assume that a more expensive bottle of Scotch whisky is automatically better. It sounds logical: the higher the price, the better the quality. But in reality, the difference between a bottle of a few tens and one worth thousands of euros is rarely purely in the taste. What you pay has much more to do with age, scarcity, marketing and reputation than with what you actually taste in your glass.

To understand this properly, it helps to look at Scotch in different "levels". Each level tells you something about what you are drinking and, more importantly, what you are paying for, but not every epicurean goes through all these levels.

You can read all about it in our blog post Why an expensive Scotch doesn't necessarily taste better - the different levels of Scotch.
