A rare example of independently bottled Glenglassaugh, chosen by the team at Cadenhead from several ex-bourbon casks, matured for 8 years. To start, there are lots of green and cooked apple notes, with strudel dolloped with home-made vanilla ice cream. Waxy honeycomb notes carry through on the palate, gently spiced and biscuity in the finish.

Situated just down the road from the distillery, the coastal village of Portsoy is the inspiration for this new expression from Glenglassaugh. Taking ex-bourbon, ex-sherry, ex-port matured stocks, this peated whisky marries together the classic sweet and sour tropical fruit (charred mango) character of the distillery with a rich and distinctive savoury seaweed note throughout.

Named after the broad, beautiful bay the distillery sits above, this expression forms part of an entirely new lineup of this little-known Highland gem. A buttery vanilla and tropical fruit scented note leads the nose, with white chocolate and a touch of sea-salt. Salted caramel flavours join more fruityness on the palate, with pineapple and a tang of sweet-sour grapefruit.

Part of the new lineup of whiskies from the distillery, this 12 year old expression marks a milestone of the distillery since its re-opening in 2008 after lying dormant since 1986. This is the quintessential style of the distillery - lush, sweet tropical fruits melded with a tang of sea-salt from its home maturing by the sea. Matured in ex-bourbon, ex-sherry and ex-red wine casks.

Selected for the 2nd 'Rare Casks' release from Glenglassaugh, this 42 year old single cask was distilled in 1972. Master distiller Billy Walker writes of a classic Glenglassaugh flavours - rich honey infused with allspice, roasted apples, a medley of syrupy fruit (pears, sultanas) and a deliciate, aromatic wood spice. Old whiskies from Glenglassaugh are amongst the very finest whiskies available from the Highland's, and 1972 is a year that exemplifies this style.
