Positioned on Scotland’s east coast, located on the shores of Sandend Bay close to the village of Portsoy, the Glenglassaugh Distillery was revived in 2008. Launched in 2023, the Glenglassaugh 12 Yr Previous is the distillery’s flagship expression, drawn from a choice of bourbon, sherry, and crimson wine casks. Bottled at 45% ABV.
Opens with contemporary coastal maritime notes, balanced by candy fruits together with apricots, peaches, and stewed figs, alongside vanilla, honey, and buttery pastries.
Candy and creamy mouthfeel opens the palate with pistachio, vanilla and figs, giving method to tart morello cherries and plums – some fairly astringent crimson wine tannins. Within the background, somewhat coastal salt.
Quick to medium, somewhat oak and vanilla, but it surely’s the wine tannins which linger. Hints of sea salt within the background.
Candy and creamy, this Glenglassaugh 12 Yr Previous is a straightforward ingesting whisky and a terrific introduction to the distillery. I loved the stability between the coastal notes and candy fruits. Every cask sort has clearly contributed to formation of the general palate and expertise, though the wine casks are essentially the most distinctive affect with the tannins and tart fruits.
