Product description
Glenglassaugh 12 Years Old Single Malt is the coastal showcase of our single malt whiskeys. It embodies everything that is best about the Scottish coast. It is created at the meeting point of sea and land, which shapes its character in its entirety. It matures for 12 years in a balanced and unusual set of American bourbon, sherry and red wine casks. This Scotch whiskey is a perfect example of the harmonious combination of the coastal character of the distillery and the oak notes from the barrel in which it matures. Exposed to the sea air, it takes on intriguing, dry flavor notes. It brings a unique experience of mature sweetness of fruit, bathed in sherry and red wine. It is bottled at 45% ABV. The dazzling color of our single malt whiskey is the color of gold, achieved without the addition of artificial colors. It comes entirely from the barrels in which it matures.

Brand History
Glenglassaugh Distillery is situated on the shores of beautiful Sandend Bay, where the fresh North Sea breeze blows through the barrels where the whisky matures.
Glenglassaugh Distillery, situated at the eastern end of Scotland's beautiful Sandend Bay, was founded by Colonel James Moir in 1875. The Colonel quickly gained notoriety for creating quality super premium whiskies. The distillery's reputation for producing high quality malt whiskies also grew steadily, but with the collapse of the whisky industry in 1907, the distillery, along with many others, closed.
Despite being closed for more than a decade, the distillery has a distinguished history of maturing whiskies, with award-winning old vintages dating back to the 1960s and newer, boutique editions produced in the years since the distillery reopened in 2008. In 2016, Brown-Forman Corporation acquired the three single malt distilleries, Benriach, The GlenDronach and Glenglassaugh, and in 2017 Dr. Rachel Barrie became their Master Blender, bringing with her over two decades of industry experience.
The name Glenglassaugh means ‘grey-green valley’, which perfectly captures the colours and character of the coastal landscape, as does the brand’s Latin motto Per mare Per terra, meaning ‘By land and sea’.
