On the Black Isle's western edge, Glen Ord was founded in 1838 on land of the Mackenzies of Ord, who wanted year-round work for local men and a market for their barley. It once drove its machinery with two water wheels and later malted for seven other distilleries besides itself. Its spirit, grassy, malty and lightly fruity, is bottled as The Singleton of Glen Ord. Diageo's.
