Glen Ord is a well-respected distillery, sought after as a single malt and by blenders alike. The distillery operates its own in-house maltings, which supply all of Diageo’s northern distilleries, as well as Talisker and occasionally heavily-peated malt for the Islay sites. Glen Ord was first officially bottled as a single malt in the 1980s, but has had a bounty of different names over the years; Glen Ord, Glenordie, Ordie, Ord, and Muir of Ord. It is currently part of the Singleton stable.

This is a 1990s bottling of the long-serving 12 year old core-expression. It was repackaged into the square glass bottles as part of the Diageo Hidden Malts range in 2002, before being rebranded as part of The Singleton range in 2006.
