Nose

An opulent sherry perfume, deep with fig and dried plum, crowned by toffee, cocoa and burnt sugar. Orange zest, cinnamon and clove mingle with polished oak, while leather, old varnish and a whisper of sea air complete the finish.

Glenglassaugh
(Glen-GLASS-uh) Glenglassaugh was founded in 1875 near Sandend on the Aberdeenshire coast by James Moir and his nephews. Its history has been unusually stop-start, with long silent periods during the 20th century before production resumed in 2008 after a major revival. The distillery later joined the BenRiach company in 2013, before becoming part of Brown-Forman in 2016 alongside Benriach and GlenDronach.
