This single cask bottling of a 7-year-old Glen Ord single malt was produced by the independent bottler Douglas McGibbon in the McGibbons Provenance series. The whisky was distilled in 2004, matured in a refill hogshead and bottled in 2011.
Glen Ord is a distillery near Muir of Ord on the Black Isle peninsula, Ross-shire, Scotland, which was founded in 1838 by Robert Johnstone and Donald McLennan. After a chequered history with several changes of ownership and closures, the distillery now belongs to Diageo. At times, its whisky was also marketed as Glen Oran, Ord, Ordie and Glenordie.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
