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 ! |

I saw these casks on my visit last year along with the first one filled/allocated to a Mr Alex Salmond in partnership with China I enquired about buying one and was told that they had just stopped selling them dam, I know you will enjoy the ones you have, if they are anything like the one in the shop last year they will be excellent bottles.
