Shaped by land and sea. Glenglassaugh is born of the coast, nourished by the North sea air, with rolling waves of flavour. A taste of Glenglassaugh is a pull to the lush shored of Sandend Bay. Where, in curving copper stills and dark casks of oak, a coastal single malt is born. Softly rolling surf sweeps across a scattering of ancient harbour towns here, while dolphins play, gannets dive, and spirits are renewed by the joy of life at a gentler pace. Glenglassaugh is distilled with mineral-rich spring water, and nourished by the sea air that drifts through our warehouses. After maturing for 12 years in a combination of bourbon, sherry and red wine casks, it develops a harmonious balance of coastal richness, shaped by an abundance of land and sea. Tasting Notes COLOUR: Luminous gold. NOSE: Sweet coastal waves of ripe apricot and fig meld with toasted vanilla and tropical flora, carried on a warm ocean breeze. TASTE: Candied pistachio, date and sweet fig roll into waves of morello cherry and whipped cream, infused with fresh coastal air. Display Tubes/Boxes: Display boxes subject to availability.

Critic reviews and blind-tasting competition results for this bottle.
The malty base note is accompanied by pronounced, slightly sweetish fruit notes, in which fig and apricot stand out. … Strong and savoury on the palate, dried red fruits, malt, some oak and nutty notes again characterise the body.
The nose is lush and fruity, perfumed with honey and raisins, crisp with lemon and grapefruit, and braced by a hint of salinity. … The elegance carries through on the finish with a long sweet and salty fade.
Aromas and flavors of raspberry nougat, milk chocolate, orange blossom honey on leather, and roasted chestnuts and sesame candies … just pretty and easily enjoyed by anyone that likes Scotch.
Rich vanilla and juicy citrus aromas lead to a subtle smoky finish. Meaty textures add depth without overpowering, creating a savoury and complex profile.
Burnt caramel and earthy, sawdust aromas, akin to a joiner’s workshop, with a sweet, nutty palate.
A fresh, mineral aroma leads to a palate rich in ripe fruits and aromatic smoke, concluding with a warm, spiced finish that lingers enticingly.
The aroma is lightly sweet with honey along with dried fruits (orange peel, apricots, golden raisins) and fresh berries. … but the malt flavors dominate the palate. … Solid daily dram.
