Kathmandu, 2nd August 2016:

Diageo PLC, along with its official distributor, Global Trading Concern Pvt. Ltd., today launched two new Single Malt Whisky: The Singleton of Glen Ord 15 Years and 18 Years Old. Both these new variants are in addition to the current offerings of The Singleton of Glen Ord brand.

About The Singleton of Glen Ord 15 Years Old:

A rich, complex and confident Singleton with hints of melon which reveals itself at its own elegant pace. Hints of melon and summer citrus fruit, revealing firm waxy notes and rich floralaromas. Spices develop into appetizing cinnamon and ginger-spiced biscuits. Melon fruit and zesty orange-oil fuse with sultanas and spiced biscuits; becoming crystallized ginger coated in an exquisite chocolate creaminess. Rich choux pastry with cooling thick cream; late toasted notes and dry cocoa powder. Finally, all that richness builds to a gloriously warming conclusion.

40% ABV, 70cl, MRP Rs 6900

About The Singleton of Glen Ord 18 Years Old:

Less spicy, more mature, slightly darker in colour, and deeper in flavour than the 12 Year Old. Aromas of walnuts, polished antique oak lead into a whole bowl of dried fruits followed by ginger biscuits, and a honeyed sweetness cut by cleansing freshness. Very full and cooling. A splendid mouth-coating richness with elegant orange oil and rich fruit. Becoming drying and appetizing, with notes of chocolate truffle. Full, long and finely detailed, with clear cedar notes against a smooth backdrop of fine, silky chocolate. Best enjoyed near or with a drop of water

40% ABV, 70cl, MRP Rs 10050
