- Description
- Distilled in December 1972 and aged 40 years in a single sherry butt—slumbering through the distillery's 20-year closure beginning in 1986—this Glenglassaugh represents a rare glimpse of pre-closure character. Càrn Mòr's Celebration of the Cask bottling in January 2013 yielded just 200 bottles of this ancient Highland whisky.
