Glenglassaugh 31 Year Old 1986 (batch 18/06) - Connoisseurs Choice (Gordon & MacPhail) is a 31-year-old single malt from Glenglassaugh (Highland, Scotland), bottled at 52% ABV. Expect vibrant and fruity, sweet and oaky character — old wood, honey, dried fruit, leathery. Best suited for experienced drinkers who enjoy bold, complex whiskies. A collector's expression at a premium price point.

Glenglassaugh's 31-year-old, distilled in December 1986 and aged in a single refill bourbon cask until July 2018, represents two decades of warehouse maturation in a relatively neutral vessel. The extended time allows the Highland spirit's natural character to develop fully—expect dried heather, subtle honey, and gentle oak integration with minimal cask dominance given the refill status. Bottled at cask strength (52% ABV) by Gordon & MacPhail, only 141 bottles were released with wooden presentation boxes. A rare opportunity to taste patience: this is for collectors and those seeking mature Highland whisky that prioritizes spirit character over wood influence.
