The wine

Glenordie was one of the brands produced at the Ord distillery. It was launched in 1982 by John Dewar & Sons, a subsidiary of Distillers Company Limited, who had taken it over from Peter Dawson. This bottling was imported by Wax & Vitale to Italy, a country fond of young single malts like the Glen Grant 5 Year Old vintages introduced by Armando Giovinetti, Glen Grant’’s distributor in the 1960s.

The distillery Ord (Glen Ord)

Scotland, Highlands. Distillery operational. Owner: Diageo.

Founded in 1838, the Ord distillery joined the James Watson & Son blending company in 1887, before being bought by Thomas Dewars & Sons Ltd in 1925 and the Distillers Company Ltd in 1930. Despite its close link with these blending companies, who absorbed almost all of its malt (Johnnie Walker, Dewars, Watson's), Ord set out to release its single malt, which, over several decades and owners, has appeared under various names, including Ord, Ordie, Glen Ordie and Glen Ord. Since the mid-90s and under the impetus of United Distillers, Ord has been included in various ranges, including The Rare Malts Selection, Malting's 25th Anniversary and Manager's Choice. In 2002, it was chosen to join the Hidden Malts range alongside Clynelish, Caol Ila and Glen Elgin, but it was slow to be discovered by enthusiasts and collectors. Finally, in 2004, it opened its vaults and released its oldest barrels in the Diageo Special Release and The Singleton ranges.
