Product Description

Waves of tropical sweetness with a crack of sea salt. A taste of GLENGLASSAUGH is a pull to the lush shores of Sanded 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, gannet dive, and spirits are renered by the joy of life at a gentler pace. Glenglassaugh Sandend is distilled with mineral-rich spring water, and nourished by the sea air that drifts through our warehouses. Enriched in bourbon, sherry and manzanilla casks, over time the lush flavour of Glenglassaugh Sandend brightens into waves of tropical sweetness, infused with a crack of sea salt. TASTING NOTES: Colour: Summer gold. Nose: Soft buttery vanilla ice-cream drenched in tropical fruit, with chocolate and a touch sea salt. Taste: Waves of salted-caramel with an effervescent burst of pineapple, cherry and grapefruit, enlivened by the ocean shore. Display Tubes/Boxes: Display boxes subject to availability.

What critics and judges wrote

Whisky Advocate Top 20 · #1 · 2023
Winning in a nearly unanimous vote, single malt scotch Glenglassaugh Sandend became our 2023 Whisky of the Year. … It’s gentle yet complex, but above all it’s an easy sipper you can just sit back and enjoy.

Melons and orange zest meld with vanilla and a hint of nuttiness. A balanced finish of toffee and peach.

Delicate meringue and lemon sherbet aromas with a subtle vanilla cream palate, balanced by Szechuan pepper spice and a dry, warming finish with gentle fruit notes.
Silver · 90 pts2025iwsc.net ↗
Subtle aromas of sweet strawberries and underlying crisp sour apples with a crisp, fruity palate of stewed apple, freshly cut pear, and a hint of mint. A dry, spicy finish that leaves a lingering sweetness.
Whisky Advocate · David Fleming · 2023
This non-age statement expression, named for the bay offshore, is bright and delicate … It’s gentle yet complex, but above all it’s an easy sipper you can just sit back and enjoy.

Falstaff · October 2025
The palate is very fruity and spicy, with a light sherry flavour, some salted caramel and oak wood rounding off the picture. The finish is fruity and spicy, with notes of chocolate and maritime saltiness.

Distiller · Stephanie Moreno
The aroma is moderately intense with bright citrus fruits, malt, and toasted oak. … The barrel spices are a little prickly at the finish, but overall it's an enjoyable daily drinker.
