There's little that gladdens our hearts more than an indie Glen Ord, especially a young bourbon cask-matured Glen Ord at a sensible strength from a great bottler.
That's what we're looking at here, with this 8-year-old Glen Ord 2012, bottled from a small batch of bourbon barrels at 47.5% by Morrison Distillers for their Carn Mor Strictly Limited series. All the evidence suggests this will be excellent, and it's great value too.

Tasting Notes
Vanilla Custard with candy-like sweetness and fresh citrus notes.
Fantastic, simple, ex-bourbon matured, single malt
With lots of different cask finishing these days, (some of which are very good by the way) this is a relatively straightforward Glen Ord from Morrison which has been matured using ex-bourbon casks only. It is an excellent example of why this method of maturation is so successful with Scottish single malts. The Ord spirit has interacted with the wood beatifully, with a remarkable balance of vanilla notes, gentle spice and stewed orchard fruits in the nose and taste profiles. Another cracker from Morrison at a great value price.

Edradour may be the hidden gem of malts but this is a hidden gem in their line up. Dark, complex and satisfying, don't hesitate for a second, this is not to be missed at this price point.
Initial Smokey smell then a hint of pear drop.
Tried it without water and it had a sharp burning sensation on the palate as you would expect at this strength but once you added water the sharpness mellowed and the sweet vanilla taste came through.
