Fermentation: The longer the fermentation, the fruitier, richer and more delicate the wash that goes into the still house. The fermentation at Glen Ord is one of the longest in the industry, clocking in at an average of 85-90 hours. We’ve even recorded an ultra-long fermentation of 140 hours!

Distillation: In order to create a rich, fruity and smooth flavour, the spirit is distilled very gently. By running the stills at a much lower temperature compared to many other distilleries, we encourage a longer distillation to extract more impurities from the spirit.

After passing through the still, the vapour is directed into a condenser, maintained at a higher temperature to allow for more contact with the copper. The spirit is put through this process twice before being left to age in fine oak casks. This long fermentation and slow, delicate distillation is what gives The Singleton Glen Ord its rich, fruity, smooth and easy drinking character.
