Tasting Notes and Characteristics:
The first sip of Glenglassaugh 12Yr Single Malt Scotch Whisky wraps you in a gentle embrace of sun-warmed toffee and sea breeze, instantly transporting you to the rugged Scottish coast where this spirit is born. Crafted in Scotland with an ABV of 45.00%, this single malt reveals layers of honeyed malt, dried apricot, and a subtle wisp of coastal brine that lingers on the finish. Its complexity shines when paired with smoked salmon, as the whisky’s sweet oak and delicate spice elevate the fish’s richness, or alongside dark chocolate, where its notes of caramel and orange zest create a decadent harmony. Glenglassaugh 12Yr is more than just whisky—it’s an invitation to savor tradition and terroir in every glass.
Producer Information: Glenglassaugh Distillery
Glenglassaugh Distillery, nestled on the rugged Moray Firth coast in the Scottish Highlands, was established in 1875 by local entrepreneur James Moir, who sought to harness the region’s pure spring water and coastal climate for whisky production. The distillery’s unique approach centers on slow fermentation and traditional copper pot stills, which capture both the maritime influence and rich fruit character distinctive to this part of Scotland. Glenglassaugh is particularly noted for reviving long-aged stocks after periods of dormancy, resulting in expressions that reflect both heritage and innovation. While their focus remains firmly on single malt Scotch whisky that embodies Highland coastal terroir, Glenglassaugh does not produce other wines or spirits outside this category, dedicating its craft exclusively to showcasing the nuanced flavors shaped by its seaside location.

Scotch whiskey, a distinguished spirit originating from Scotland, is primarily made from malted barley for single malts and grains for blended varieties. This iconic drink undergoes a meticulous distillation process using pot stills for single malts and column stills for grain whiskies, followed by an aging period of at least three years in oak casks, often previously used for bourbon or sherry. The result is a diverse range of flavors and aromas that reflect the unique characteristics of its regions of origin.
Single malt Scotch typically boasts rich and complex flavors with notes of fruit, spice, smoke, peat, and oak, while blended Scotch offers a smoother profile with balanced hints of caramel, vanilla, and light smoke. The texture can vary significantly—from smooth and creamy to rich and oily—depending on the style. Scotch whiskey is versatile in its consumption; it can be enjoyed neat or on the rocks and serves as a key ingredient in classic cocktails like the Rob Roy or Blood & Sand.
