Glenglassaugh Sandend Single Malt Scotch Whisky

CRITICAL ACCLAIM:

“Glenglassaugh Distillery is situated on the north coast of Scotland, perched upon high ground overlooking the North Sea. The whisky is often described as a “coastal” Highland malt, which seems a fair assessment. This non-age statement expression, named for the bay offshore, is bright and delicate, with aromas of citrus and minerality leading to a luscious palate filled with layers of flavor revealing peach, apricot, honey, pound cake, and vanilla, all accented with a touch of sea salt. Rolling spices help create an explosive, long-lasting finish. It’s gentle yet complex, but above all it’s an easy sipper you can just sit back and enjoy.” - 95 PTS, #1 WHISKY OF TOP 20 2024, WHISKY ADVOCATE (12/2023)

PRODUCER NOTES:

OVERVIEW: “Glenglassaugh Sandend is inspired by the crescent beach of Sandend Bay where the distillery resides. Enriched in bourbon, sherry and manzanilla casks, over time the lush flavour of Glenglassaugh Sandend brightens into waves of tropical sweetness, infused with a crack of sea salt.”

TASTING: “COLOUR - Summer Gold; NOSE - Soft buttery vanilla ice-cream drenched in tropical fruit, with chocolate and a touch of sea salt; TASTE - Waves of salted-caramel with an effervescent burst of pineapple, cherry and grapefruit, enlivened by the ocean shore.”
