- Description
- Glenglassaugh's 30-year-old marks the distillery's relaunch in 2013 and stands as the first major release under new ownership at 44.8% ABV. Three decades of maturation would have developed the Highland malt's natural character with layers of orchard fruit, gentle wood spice, and warming oak influence, presented in an elegant teardrop decanter. The extended aging contributes richness and complexity while retaining the distillery's characteristic balance. This inaugural expression suits those exploring Glenglassaugh's heritage or collectors marking the distillery's modern era.
