Tasting Notes:

Colour: Rich antique gold.

Nose: golden sultanas and touches of soft ripped mint evolve to hints of dried apricot, ripe peach and mandarin.

Palate: Caramelised apple and pear drizzled with a spiced golden syrup soften to gentle, warm toasted oak, zest of lime and barley sugar candies.

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.
