BenRiach
release its first Glenglassaugh
bottling.
 The
BenRiach Distillery Company, which
bought the Portsoy-based Glenglassaugh
distillery back in March this year has
announced the release of its first
Glenglassaugh expression since taking
over ownership of the distillery – a
Glenglassaugh 30 year old single malt.
Back in March, BenRiach’s MD and Master
Blender Billy Walker said: "It’s our
intention to bring this iconic
distillery fully back to life by giving
it the investment, commitment and care
it deserves. I believe our whisky
expertise, proven brand-building ability
and strong routes to market will help
take Glenglassaugh to the next level."
The next level starts with this 30 year
old and Mr Walker’s tasting
notes below show how appropriate it is
that this very special Highland single
malt which was bottled at 44.8% ABV, should be the very
first Glenglassaugh to be released by
BenRiach.
Sales Director Alistair Walker said:
"We’re delighted to release our first
Glenglassaugh expression five months
after taking over the distillery. The 30
year old is a great example of the unique
Glenglassaugh character - complex fruit
flavours, sherry overtones, spices and a
lasting finish. It’s the first of a
number of planned developments we have
for our new brand which is in response
to strong demand for Glenglassaugh in
global markets."
