Glenglassaugh is a distillery born between sea and sky, perched on the curve of Sandend Bay where waves kiss the shore and salty wind moves through the warehouses. The 12 Year Old captures that coastal magic with quiet confidence. Opening this bottle feels like standing on the beach just after sunrise, soft breeze, warm sand, and the scent of fruit carried by the ocean air. Paired with the Prism Spinning Glass, the ritual becomes even more immersive.

Brand: Glenglassaugh | Category: Single Malt Scotch Whisky | ABV: 45% | Origin: Highlands (Coastal), Scotland | Vol: 700ml

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Stone fruits, vanilla cream, sea breeze, and gentle oak, like walking past an orchard perched right beside the coast.
Palate: Silky, bright, and fruit-led. Notes of apricot, pineapple, honeycomb, malt sweetness, and soft coastal salinity glide across the palate with clean, natural richness. Hints of toasted oak and citrus give it freshness and lift.
Finish: Medium to long with lingering fruit, soft caramel, and a whisper of sea air that fades in an elegant drift.

Production Details:
The 12 Year Old rests in a trio of bourbon, sherry, and red wine casks, each adding its own layer of sweetness, fruitiness, and gentle spice. Glenglassaugh’s warehouses sit just meters from the sea, allowing ocean air to seep into the wood and subtly influence the spirit. The result is a coastal Highland malt that balances vibrancy with depth, a graceful revival from a once-silent distillery.

Perfect For:
Relaxed evenings, seafood dinners, or slow moments when you want a whisky with brightness and coastal elegance. The paired Prism Spinning Glass elevates the ritual, letting the aromas open as the whisky gently spins in the light.

Expert Notes:
Critics highlight Glenglassaugh 12 as one of the most refreshing coastal Highland malts today, fruity, lively, and layered. The combination of cask styles creates a nuanced profile without losing its natural sweetness, making it a standout for both newcomers and seasoned drinkers.

Customer Reviews:
“Bright, coastal, and beautifully smooth. Instantly enjoyable.”
“Fruit-forward with a touch of sea breeze. Amazing everyday dram.”
“The spinning glass makes it feel like a special experience every time.”

Interesting Fact:
Glenglassaugh spent over 20 years silent before its revival, meaning today’s whiskies reflect a rebirth guided by modern cask expertise and coastal heritage.

Serving Suggestions:
Neat to experience full fruit brightness. A splash of water brings out more apricot, honey, and floral notes. Over ice, it becomes creamier and softer with a gentle seaside lift. Use the Prism Spinning Glass to aerate the whisky and reveal deeper layers.

Distillery Background:
Founded in 1875 overlooking Sandend Bay, Glenglassaugh sits where the Highlands meet the sea. After decades of quiet obscurity, the distillery was revived and now leads with a style defined by coastal freshness, fruit-rich character, and a dedication to modern cask artistry. The 12 Year Old represents the new chapter of Glenglassaugh, lively, elegant, and unmistakably coastal.
