Founded in 1838, the prolific Glen Ord distillery slowcrafts the Singleton Signature Sherry Edition with a bespoke triple cask maturation process. The process begins with maturing whisky respectively ina fusion of European oak sherry casks and American oak Bourbon casks with a long fermentation process. The American oak bourbon creates vanilla, caramel and woody notes and the European oak sherry adds fruity, bitter notes. After 12 years, these two whiskies are then brought together and married in a perfect balance by Malt Master, Maureen Robinson. The Master of Malts Maureen Robinson drew upon her unparalleled 40-years of experience to revisit a selection of ageing whiskies from the celebrated distillery to further mature this whisky in Sherry casks to enhance the signature rich fruity tasting noteswith transcendental depth of taste and complexity that makes for a rich vibrancy of dark berries, cherries and blackcurrants.
The signature edition has been bottled at cask strength with a 40% ABV to experience its pure character and is available for HK$548.
