Nestled on the coast of northern Scotland, this once dormant whisky distillery has been lovingly revived, and with it the discovery of a rare collection of vintage casks.
This latest selection marks Batch 3 in Glenglassaugh's rare cask releases, with each cask distilled between 1965 and 1986 providing a rare glimpse into the history of this remarkable distillery.
The pre-1986 stock of Glenglassaugh is hugely respected and a very desirable acquisition if you can get your hands on it. Personally selected by Glenglassaugh Master Distiller Billy Walker and presented at 40.1% ABV, this is one of just 285 bottles. A super-aged Highland single malt, it was distilled in November 1965 and matured in a single hogshead until November 2016, when it was bottled up as the oldest expression in their Batch 3 Rare Cask Releases.
Rich amber to the eye, it displays aromas of boiled sweets, gentle floral oak and hints of tropical fruits and barley. The fruits continue onto the palate with a hint of caramel and delicate oak.

GLENGLASSAUGH
Nestled by the shores of the North Sea, Glenglassaugh Distillery captures the essence of its coastal surroundings. Established in 1875, this historic distillery experienced a notable revival in 2008 when production resumed after more than two decades of silence. Under the guidance of Master Blender Rachel Barrie, Glenglassaugh has introduced three new expressions: the 12-Year-Old, Portsoy and Sandend.
Rachel Barrie draws inspiration from the sea, air, and wild coastline, infusing each whisky with the distillery’s funky and playful spirit. Known for their complex and occasionally unconventional flavours, Glenglassaugh whiskies have earned a devoted following.
Barrie’s leadership emphasises innovation and traditional methods, ensuring each bottle tells a story of heritage and place. The new Glenglassaugh range has whisky enthusiasts excited, with Aroha Jakicevich and her father Jak having had a sneak preview in Scotland last year.
For those wondering about the fate of Revival, Evolution, and Torfa, the old core range, these are being discontinued. However, some bottles are still available instore, so grab them while you can.
The new whiskies from Glenglassaugh showcase the distillery’s legacy and Barrie’s commitment to quality. They invite whisky lovers to explore a rich tapestry of flavours capturing the unique, enchanting character of Glenglassaugh’s coastal home in each sip.
