Glenglassaugh has some great older bottlings - I tasted a couple of fantastic 40yo on distillery visit few year ago. Would really like to taste these rum casks but the price is just too high.

Too bad that they don't have single cask bottlings in the range of 20-25yo, similar as their sister distilleries (Glandronach and Benriach) because it was mothballed in 1986:

Hi William. Some very interesting drams there. Wouldn't mind trying one or two, especially the Madeira Puncheon. Maybe some time at a tasting. You never know.
