Glenglassaugh Octaves Classic Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Out of stock
Matured in very small casks which are approximately 1/8th the size of a regular cask. This increased ratio of wood to liquid imparts intense flavours more quickly into the final Whisky.
One of my favourite new releases of 2016 and along with the peated version goes to show the wonders you can do with a great small cask at a young age.
A juicy, fruity and moreish offering from a distillery that only reopened in 2008 after 22 years of being silent.
91.5 Points Jim Murray's Whisky Bible
"Very high quality malt with a clean, intense persona which makes the most of any sweetness going."
