The new, age statement release from the latest iteration of Glenglassaugh. The 12 Year Old is an excellent mixture of Bourbon, Sherry and ex Red Wine casks, bringing that wonderfully balanced, sea-side fruitiness that the distillery is loved for.
Official Tasting Notes:
Nose: Sweet coastal waves of ripe apricot and fig meld with toasted vanilla and tropical flora, carried on a warm ocean breeze.
Palate: Candied pistachio, date and sweet fig roll into waves of morello cherry and whipped cream, infused with fresh coastal air.
Currently under the control of the Brown Forman group, it's an incredibly exciting time for Glenglassaugh. The distillery was mothballed from 1986-2008, and it has since passed hands to the Benriach group, which was later acquired by Brown Forman. Under this new stewardship it's receiving the love it deserves, as it quietly produces some of the best whisky in the Highlands (in our opinion).
