Armagnac Butt since August 2019

This 13 year old bottling from Ord distillery in the Highlands has spent the last few years of its maturation in an Armagnac butt. This has given the dram a very interesting flavour profile which is uncovered sip by sip. On the nose, this dram displays sweet notes of fruit slice, runny honey and dates. This sweetness follows on to the palate alongside a smooth melted butter note. On the finish, there is a nuttiness alongside notes of aniseed to round the dram off.

Ord Information

Located in the Highland region, this distillery was built by Thomas MacKenzie of Ord on land his ancestors were granted by King Alexander III back in the 13th century.

These days, it produces a sweet and light spirit which publicly goes by a range of names (all variations on a theme) - at Cadenhead's, we have kept it simple and gone for "Ord."
