Glenglassaugh 45 years 1968 - 2014 #1601

Tasting Notes:

Colour: Rich autumn gold.

Nose: Long and luxurious. Heady red candle apples balance with delicate spiced orange; all softening to distant pineapple juice.

Palate: Crisp oak spices soften to reveal elegant waves of fresh green apple and wisps of ripe banana. Delicate hints of passion fruit, cedar wood and lime zest bring a fantastic depth to the long 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.
