The coastal Highland distillery of Glenglassaugh, founded in 1874, is situated near the town of Portsoy, Banffshire overlooking the Moray Firth. After more than two decades of silence the distillery’s production resumed in 2008 marking a new chapter in its history.
A combination of long fermentation, wooden washbacks and lantern-shaped stills helps define Glenglassaugh's spirit character. The production includes both unpeated and peated spirit. These distilling methods contribute to a medium-weight spirit with pronounced fruit, honeyed sweetness and floral notes.
Glenglassaugh is consistently rewarding to bottle. Its fruity and coastal character provides a versatile foundation for different cask influences, allowing new dimensions of this distinctive Highland malt to be revealed.
