Product Description
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.
