- Description
- Glenglassaugh's 2009 distillate—from just one year after the distillery's reopening after 22 years dormancy—was given five months in an octave cask before Duncan Taylor bottled it in 2017, creating a rare snapshot of the distillery's early resumption. The compact octave cask accelerates wood integration, adding depth and colour to the young spirit while maintaining the distillery's coastal Highland character. A collectible release of just 64 bottles that appeals to those tracking Glenglassaugh's modern renaissance.
