The Glenglassaugh 48 Year Old – Cask No. 1863 is an extraordinary single cask release, matured for nearly half a century in a rare Aleatico red wine barrique. This long coastal maturation has nurtured a whisky of remarkable depth and complexity, where the influence of the sea mingles beautifully with the rich, aromatic character of the cask. Its rouge bronze hue hints at the vibrant profile within, while the nose opens with soft waves of blueberry, peach and tamarind layered over delicate notes of meringue and salted pistachio cream.

On the palate, the whisky delivers an opulent medley of flavours – blackberry, lychee and raspberry are interwoven with passionfruit and a subtle thread of sea salt, creating a wonderfully balanced and mouthwatering dram. This is a rare opportunity to experience the elegance and individuality that defines Glenglassaugh’s oldest coastal casks – a sublime and evocative whisky that captures the essence of time, place and wood.

Glenglassaugh

A Traditional Coastal Malt

Glenglassaugh is a Highland single malt whisky distillery located in located in the picturesque coastal village of Portsoy in Banffshire. Founded in 1875, the distillery was in operation only very briefly until the 1960s and for much of its life was under the radar of most single malt enthusiasts.

That changed in 2008 when the distillery was purchased by the Scaent Group. Their acquisition breathed new life into Glenglassaugh, which after years of inactivity resumed production in earnest in November 2008. The distillery’s first release under its new ownership was the appropriately named Revival, finished in oloroso Sherry casks. Around this time Glenglassaugh also released several new bottlings from archive stock which were greeted with wide acclaim.
