“The legacy of our most sought after casks date back to the 1970s when these precious liquids were first laid down, patiently harnessing rich natural colour and sublime character, naturally forming the apex of our single malt whisky.
“It is extremely rare to find casks which have been left to mature in coastal locations for such a long period of time and our warehouses, perched on cliffs overlooking Sandend Bay, have acted as the custodians of this old and rare liquid for over five decades. These casks give a unique insight into the nature of whisky making at the distillery before it was closed and capture a moment in time like few other expressions can.” RACHEL BARRIE — MASTER BLENDER

Glenglassaugh Serpentine Coastal Cask Collection 51 Year Old
Glenglassaugh Distillery sits at the east end of Sandend Bay and was founded in 1875 by Col. James Moir, who built a name for well-made whisky. Moir and his two nephews ran the business until 1892, when Highland Distillers acquired Glenglassaugh.
