Description

Glenglassaugh was one of the many victims of the Scotch industry's decline in the 1980s. The distillery was mothballed in 1986 and subsequently stayed silent for over two decades, until new owners Scaent Group restarted production in November 2008 and quickly managed to turn Glenglassaugh into a success.

Nose
Grape peels. Old wood varnish but not too heavy. Rather fresh for a 38 year old Whisky. Spice: cinnamon and nutmeg with a nice nuttiness too. A malty sweetness hides underneath. More time in the glass reveals more sugar and sultana sweetness. And some dry Oloroso notes.
Palate
Prickly and peppery to start with. Then getting fruitier with grapefruit wood and nuts. Green grapes and some sherry influence too. Semi sweet sultanas and dates. Wood varnish. Lighter than expected with a sweet sour finish. Distant smoky note.
Finish
Raisins and malt, with charred wood and dry sherry.
