The Glenglassaugh 1973 is a remarkable 41-year-old single malt whisky, boasting an ABV of 44.5% and presented in a 700ml bottle. Distilled in 1973 and bottled in 2014, this exquisite Highland whisky is one of only 388 bottles finished in a Massandra sherry puncheon, a process that imparts rich and fruity notes to the spirit. On the palate, it opens with a fresh and crisp lime zest flavor that leads to green apple, pear, and ripe tropical fruits, harmoniously combined with delicate cigar box spices and a gentle oiliness. The nose reveals an enticing array of dried pineapple, banana, golden sultanas, stem ginger, white pepper, and candied peel notes, which soften to unveil a unique sweet oak character. The finish is vibrant and long-lasting, offering a diverse combination of classic fruit and spiced flavors.
Glenglassaugh has a storied and sporadic history. The distillery, established in 1875, operated for only five years between 1908 and 1960 before being mothballed again in 1986. This particular expression was bottled without coloring or chill filtration during Billy Walker's brief tenure. Packaged in a sophisticated box, this whisky is an excellent choice for both collectors and connoisseurs.
