Glenglassaugh

Rare Cask Release 1974 48 Year Cask 1473 700mL

One of Glenglassaugh's oldest releases to date. Distilled on the 20th March 1974, cask no. 1473 has been nurtured for 48 years in a Pedro Ximenez sherry cask hand-selected by Master Blender, Dr Rachel Barrie. Each of the 139 bottles have been individually hand-numbered to reflect their rarity. Inspired by the distillery’s coastal location on the white sandy beach of Sandend Bay on the Highland coast, it is a whisky shaped by land and sea, presenting seductive notes of tropical and summer fruit on an ocean breeze.
