Tasting notes
This 30-year-old Glenglassaugh is liquid history at its finest. Presented in an exquisite teardrop decanter, the Sherry-cask matured single malt is a very special whisky from a Highland distillery that was nearly lost to the ages when it was mothballed in 1986.

The first release from the new owners of Glenglassaugh distillery is obviously intended as a showpiece expression, and it does not disappoint. Due in the States next year. Damp moss and cedar on the early nose. Sultanas, candied orange, maraschino cherries, and sherry. Treacle notes in time. Spicy fruits, figs, brittle toffee, sherry, and ginger on the mellow yet robust palate. The finish is medium in length, with allspice and old oak, plus a wisp of tarry smoke.£245
