- Description
- Glenglassaugh's 40-year-old was matured in a single Massandra Madeira puncheon hand-selected by Billy Walker and bottled in September 2015, yielding 588 bottles from this Highland distillery's Rare Cask Release series. Extended maturation in wine cask has mellowed the spirit into an elegant, fruit-forward expression of considerable age and complexity.
