Glenglassaugh Distillery

[minesascotch]

Visited the distillery on Friday, lots of work going on, new road being laid, Dunnage Warehouses having complete new roofs, floors and doorways to take fork lifts, looks like a lot of work, best to ring before a visit I think to check open when you plan to visit.
(Nothing to say it will be closed but might be worth a telephone call)

Tried a new Cask Strength 4 year old sherry cask in shop very good, this will be fantastic in the future, I would have bought a sample but no bottles left ! Bloody long drive from Somerset.

I am looking forward to seeing what Benriach does with Glenglassaugh in the coming years, sounds like they are certainly investing in it.

Revisited last week all up together with other on going work on cottages on site to be used for business/conferencing etc.

Two disappointing things though, no cask available to taste/buy in the shop as it had been finished and the manager had not yet replaced it ! and having explained on my last visit I was unable to have a full tour because of the works going on and that when a request was made for a quick walk round to see the improvements, I was told I would have to pay for a tour for reasons of health and safety, compare that to AnCnoc a quick phone call ahead as they have no visitor centre and my friend and I were given a very good tour round at no cost, well worth a visit if you can.

I would contact Benriach and tell them what a poor experience you had on your visit I am sure they would what their staff to offer a much better experience.

GlenG ran a promotion a few years ago where one could but and Octave and mature it at your leisure.
I have a share in 8 all together, filled with a mixture of peated and non peated spirit and various different casks - PX, Oloroso, Port, Rum and Bourbon.
I cant wait !
