About This Whisky

A bright, coastal Highland whisky matured in a trio of bourbon, sherry, and red-wine casks. Aromas of ripe stone fruit, vanilla, and sea breeze lead into a smooth palate of figs, cherry, and subtle nutty sweetness. The finish lingers with gentle oak, salted chocolate, and a touch of maritime freshness. Elegant, approachable, and distinctly shaped by its shoreside home.

About

Glenglassaugh Distillery

Glenglassaugh Distillery is a historic Highland Scotch whisky distillery located on the north-east coast of Scotland near Portsoy, Aberdeenshire. Renowned for its unique coastal location, Glenglassaugh produces distinctive Highland single malt Scotch whisky with a signature balance of fresh fruit, coastal influence, and gentle oak character.

Location

Glenglassaugh sits right on the edge of the Moray Firth, making it one of the few Scottish distilleries with warehouses directly exposed to the sea. This coastal setting contributes subtle maritime notes to the whisky.

History

Founded: 1875

Experienced multiple periods of closure throughout the 20th century

Reopened: 2008 after more than 20 years of silence

Currently owned by Brown-Forman (also owners of BenRiach and GlenDronach)

The distillery has undergone a significant revival in recent years, gaining recognition for its modern yet characterful single malts.

Whisky Style

Glenglassaugh is known for a fresh, fruity, and coastal Highland style, typically featuring:

Tropical fruits (pineapple, mango)

Citrus and orchard fruits

Honey and vanilla sweetness

Light coastal salinity

Gentle spice and oak

Unlike many Highland distilleries, Glenglassaugh often highlights its coastal maturation, giving its whisky a slightly maritime edge.

Production

Key features of Glenglassaugh’s whisky production include:

Traditional copper pot still distillation

Long fermentation to enhance fruity character

Use of a variety of cask types, including:

Ex-bourbon casks

Sherry casks

Wine and specialty casks

Focus on small-batch and innovative cask finishes

Popular Glenglassaugh Expressions

Glenglassaugh Evolution – matured in Tennessee whiskey casks

Glenglassaugh Sandend – coastal-inspired release

Limited & single cask bottlings – often highly sought-after

Interesting Fact

Glenglassaugh is one of the few distilleries where you can see whisky warehouses right on the shoreline, meaning casks are matured just metres from the sea—contributing to its distinctive coastal character.
