Volume: 700ml ABV: 46% Age: No Age Statement Country: Scotland
Glenglassaugh Distillery stands at the east end of Sandend Bay approximately two miles to the west of Portsoy. It was here on the banks of the Glassaugh burn and in an area known to have been previously favoured by illicit distillers that local entrepreneur and businessman James Moir built the distillery in 1875. In 2007 a group of investors, who were also whisky enthusiasts, were looking for a whisky distillery with heritage and one that produced top quality single malt scotch whisky. Their trail led them to Glenglassaugh and soon after a deal was done to purchase the distillery.On the 29th February 2008 the keys were officially handed over to the newly formed “Glenglassaugh Distillery Company Limited” and a new chapter for this illustrious distillery began. In 2013, the BenRiach Distillery Company took over Glenglassaugh distillery with the intention to bring this iconic distillery fully back to life by giving it the investment, commitment and care it deserves.
The distillery is now owned by Brown-Forman and produces about 1,000,000 litres of spirit each year which is mostly destined for single malt.
Released as part of the wood finishes this whisky was first matured in ex-Bourbon wood and then finished in barrels that previously held Port. Bottled at 46% abv.
