Tasting Notes:
Colour: Deep crimson edged with gold.
Nose: Magnificent full bodied, yet elegant, sherry character. Plum juice and dates carry bursts of orange sherbet and touches of gentle anise.
Palate: The freshness of candied peal balances the rich dark chocolate and sherried dark fruit character. Subtle grapefruit and warm oak spice lightens and adds a citrus twist to the finish.
Glenglassaugh Distillery
Glenglassaugh Distillery is located on the scenic coast of the Moray Firth, near the village of Portsoy in the Scottish Highlands. Founded in 1875 by Colonel James Moir, Glenglassaugh has a rich history marked by several periods of closure and revival.
A specific feature of Glenglassaugh is the use of pure water from the Glassaugh Burn, which contributes to the fresh and lively character of their whiskies. Glenglassaugh whiskies are known for their fruity and floral notes, often combined with a subtle spiciness and honey.
After a long closure, the distillery was revived in 2008, leading to a revival of their traditional production methods and a focus on quality. The whiskies are matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and sherry casks, making for a complex and balanced taste experience. Glenglassaugh Distillery remains a beloved name among whisky lovers and valued for its dedication to craftsmanship.
