The Glenglassaugh Sandend is a single malt whisky named after the crescent-shaped Sandend Bay, located near the distillery. It is known for its rich expression of the Glenglassaugh distillery character, with pronounced notes of tropical fruit and vanilla. This luscious expression is inspired by the bay and brought to life by Master Blender Rachel Barrie with an intense tropical fruit sweetness.
The whisky is matured in a combination of bourbon, sherry, and manzanilla casks, resulting in a rich, elegantly-textured single malt with a bold 50.5% ABV. The influence of the manzanilla casks adds hints of sea spray, evoking the ocean shore of Sandend Bay.
The nose offers a delightful combination of buttery vanilla ice-cream, tropical fruit, chocolate, and a touch of sea salt. On the palate, you can expect waves of salted caramel, bursts of pineapple, cherry, and grapefruit, followed by an ocean breeze finish.
Glenglassaugh, located in a coastal nook just five minutes from Sandend Bay, has a rich history dating back to 1874. The distillery's coastal warehouses overlook the rolling surf of Sandend Bay, where the whisky is gently matured.
In summary, the Glenglassaugh Sandend Bourbon Sherry & Manzanilla 50.5% 700ml is a rich and tropical single malt whisky, inspired by the crescent-shaped beach of Sandend Bay and matured in a combination of bourbon, sherry, and manzanilla casks. The result is an elegant, luscious expression with a bold 50.5% ABV and a delightful balance of sweet and salty notes.
Yes, it works quite well with a little water. The sweetness increases, the light fruits become more pronounced, and the alcohol is better integrated. Adding water is definitely recommended.
This whisky is particularly appealing to those with a sweet tooth, featuring a delightful play between sweet and salty notes. The flavors of light fruits like pear and honeydew melon are more evident with a little water, enhancing the overall experience. While some feel it could benefit from an additional 1-2 years of maturation, its fresh oak, vanilla, and nutty characteristics, along with a slightly oily texture, make it a modern and enjoyable whisky.
