Detailed Description
Thanks to years of closure over the past century, Glenglassaugh is a distillery with two types of whisky: very young or very old. This is one of the latter drams, bottled as part of the third batch of single casks released by the distillery. Matured in a cask that previously contained Massandra ‚Äì a Crimean fortified wine, similar to sherry ‚Äì and bottled in November 2016, it’s a rich and dark dram, packed with dried fruit notes.
