Glen Ord was founded in 1838 and built on a site that previously held a beer house and mill (since 1549). Only in 1966 extra stills were installed, totaling six, and warmed by steam. Since 1985 the…

There are not that many official releases from Glen Ord in the market today. Besides the entry level malt Glen Ord 12 Year Old, there are the beautiful 25, 28 and 30 Year Olds. Diageo also released Glen…
