Bottle  No 8248. 

An exceptional release of 30 year old 42% single malt Scotch whisky from Glenglassaugh presented in an elegant teardrop decanter.

The first expression to be released by the new owners, Glenglassaugh 30 Years Old is a rich and complex whisky which has been matured for over 30 years in the coastal warehouses. Bottled at 42%, this is a refined single malt with elegant sherry cask characteristics complimented by luscious fruits and oak spice.

Situated just north of the Speyside region border, Glenglassaugh is an interesting single malt. So interesting in fact, that it proved difficult for blenders to marry with other whiskies, and it closed down in 1986, deemed surplus to requirements in the era of oversupply in the whisky industry. With the evolution of the single malt market in the years that followed, the distillery made a surprise comeback in 2008 when it was revived by a group of private investors. It then found its feet as part of the Benriach Distillery Company, and is now part of the Brown-Forman stable. Releases from both sides of its 22 year hiatus are very well regarded.
