"Limited to 3 Bottles in Korea" Diageo Korea Launches Luxury Single Malt Whiskey 'Singleton Glen Ord 39 Years'

[Asia Economy Reporter Eunmo Koo] Diageo Korea announced on the 22nd that it has released a limited edition of three bottles of the luxury single malt Scotch whisky "Singleton Glen Ord 39 Years," finished in French Bordeaux casks, in the domestic market. The price is around 3 million KRW.

The Singleton Glen Ord 39 Years is a single malt whisky limited to 1,695 bottles worldwide. It is a product finished in French Bordeaux casks after maturing the original spirit for 27 years in port casks, Pedro Xim?nez sherry casks, and Oloroso sherry casks, blending the aromas of whisky and wine to create a deep and rich flavor.

In particular, Morin Robinson, Diageo's master blender with over 40 years of experience, personally led the long maturation process. The Singleton matured for 12 years was carefully placed in selected European oak casks for secondary maturation, and the 27-year-old original spirit was transferred to French Bordeaux wine casks to complete a complex texture of grapes and fruits with a luxurious flavor.

The whisky is bottled at cask strength without dilution, with an alcohol content of 46.2%. Despite the high proof, it is characterized by a creamy and smooth texture, with flavors of juicy blackberry and black sugar crumble. It has a subtle dryness, and as it lingers, the spicy finish of aged fruit is emphasized.

A Diageo Korea representative said, "We are introducing a rare Singleton vintage product to the domestic market," adding, "The Singleton Glen Ord 39 Years, with its incomparable rich taste and aroma, will provide the best experience for fine dining as well as whisky and wine experts."
