This is great stuff! My son bought it for me last christmas and i hope he gets me another this year (hint hint). Can't believe how cheap it is on this website, I think he paid over £200 for it!

Embarrassingly similar to the regular old 12YO bottles (pre "Singleton" disappointment). I say that despite the fact Glen Ord is one of my favourite single-malts (have tasted almost 150 of them).If you can afford this, and want REAL bang for your buck try bottles like the 30 YO Brora. My favourite all-time SM, specifically the 56.6% bottling from 2006. Amazing. I could have bought it two years ago for £175 and I was dumb enough to give it up, now it's £300...

Brand Info:
Glen Ord
Glen Ord was founded in 1838 and has been one of the larger distilleries in Diageo's portfolio since the mid-1960s when the number of stills was increased from two to six. The site is also home to a large maltings facility, which provides malt for several other distileries in the group. The distillery's whisky is used for various blends, including Dewar's and Johnnie Walker; over the years the single malt has been sold as Glen Oran, Glenordie, Ordie and Ord - almost always as a 12 year-old, although a 5 yo was also available in the 1980s.Read more >
