Ord 16 Year Old. The Manager's Dram. Bottled 1991. 75cl. 66.2%.
A 16 year old refill cask whisky specially selected and bottled at natural strength for malt distillery managers within United Distillers.
Another real gem in the Manager's Dram series, this is a huge fruity, waxy old style Ord that is just jam packed with everything that's great about this distillery, only turned all the way up to eleven in typically beastly Manager's Dram style.

Glen Ord is a classic Highland distillery, originally built in 1838 and now producing an enormous 11 million litres per annum, making it one of the largest distilleries in Scotland. The distillery is also home to a huge industrial maltings facility supplying malted barley to various other Diageo distilleries including Talisker.
Sadly, Glen Ord’s characterful but easy-drinking single malt has been unavailable in the UK since 2006 when it was withdrawn and repackaged for Asian markets as the Singleton of Glen Ord. This tragedy notwithstanding, the distillery’s official bottlings have a good reputation among whisky drinkers, with the old 12-year-old and the long-aged Special Release bottlings from 2003-2005 particularly popular; however, the most famous Glen Ord is undoubtedly the Samaroli 1962 Ord Bouquet 22-year-old, one of the greatest single malt whiskies ever bottled.
