Glen Ord Highland Single Malt
Origins & story
Tucked away near the village of Muir of Ord, Glen Ord is one of the few remaining distilleries that still malt their own barley on-site. Founded in 1838, its legacy spans nearly two centuries of whisky-making excellence. Glen Ord’s robust character and full-flavoured profile come from traditional worm tub condensers and slow distillation.
The distillery is part of a heritage deeply embedded in the Scottish Highlands, where the combination of pure spring water and locally grown barley contributes to a uniquely rich spirit. Its long-standing production techniques are kept alive by expert craftsmen. You can learn more about the value of maturation on our Why Casks? page or visit our About Us section for further details.
