Nestled on the coast of northern Scotland, this once dormant whisky distillery has been lovingly revived, and with it the discovery of a rare collection of vintage casks.
This latest selection marks Batch 3 in Glenglassaugh's rare cask releases, with each cask distilled between 1965 and 1986 providing a rare glimpse into the history of this remarkable distillery.
The pre-1986 stock of Glenglassaugh is hugely respected and a very desirable acquisition if you can get your hands on it. Personally selected by Glenglassaugh Master Distiller Billy Walker and presented at 40.1% ABV, this is one of just 285 bottles. A super-aged Highland single malt, it was distilled in November 1965 and matured in a single hogshead until November 2016, when it was bottled up as the oldest expression in their Batch 3 Rare Cask Releases.
Rich amber to the eye, it displays aromas of boiled sweets, gentle floral oak and hints of tropical fruits and barley. The fruits continue onto the palate with a hint of caramel and delicate oak.
