Portrait: What makes the Glen Ord 2012 100 Proof Edition #43 Signatory Vintage special.

Independent Bottled quality whiskies of appropriate age, high drinking strength, and a fair price – that's the Signatory Vintage 100 Proof Edition in a nutshell.

What does "100 Proof" mean? A consistently strong 57.1% vol. (the alcohol content at which gunpowder is still ignitable). With each new bottling, the series impressively demonstrates how well power, character, and attractive value can be combined.

The Glen Ord 2012/2025 offers whisky lovers the rare opportunity to take an independent look at a traditional Highland distillery. The Glen Ord distillery is located near Muir of Ord in northern Scotland and is best known under the brand name The Singleton. As one of the few distilleries with its own malthouse, Glen Ord also supplies other Diageo distilleries with malted barley—a testament to the distillery's importance within the group.

The 2012 vintage was bottled in 2025 after twelve years of maturation. Matured in first fill bourbon barrels, this single malt is characterized by a clear, unadulterated cask character. The focus is not only on the whisky itself, but also on the craftsmanship that goes into the independent bottling.
For collectors and connoisseurs, the Glen Ord 2012/2025 is an exciting insight into the potential of this often underestimated distillery.
