Detailed Description
While the distillery is again producing new whisky, the new owners discovered they had purchased quite a bit more than the famous distillery itself: the purchase also included a cache of some 400 casks of aging Glenglassaugh Single Malt whisky, each more than twenty years old. Upon this realization, Glenglassaugh’s former master distiller hand-selected his favorite cask from the remaining cache. The whisky resting in the cask was distilled in 1973, and had matured for over forty years in a refill sherry hogshead barrel. After he purchased the cask, the whisky inside was bottled at cask strength.
