It is a natural pick for the drinker who already knows the 12 Year and wants the same maritime house character with a darker, sweeter cask signature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProcess \u0026amp; Profile\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGlenglassaugh was founded in 1875 by James Moir and his nephews Alexander and William Morrison on the shore of Sandend Bay, a few miles from the fishing village of Portsoy on Scotland's north-east coast. The distillery was mothballed in 1986 and stayed silent for over twenty years before production resumed in 2008; it now sits in Brown-Forman's portfolio under Master Blender Rachel Barrie, who rebuilt the core range in 2023. This 15-year-old joined that range as a permanent expression in July 2026, bottled at 46% ABV (92 proof) in a 750mL format. Warehouses sitting essentially on the beach give the spirit its salt-tinged edge, which the PX and Rioja wood then wraps in dried fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the nose, chocolate sauce and salted caramel come first, then sultana, dark manuka honey, bright Spanish orange and a trace of date oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate, treacle and caramelised date turn juicier with fresh papaya, over a base of cocoa, coffee grounds and a leafy tobacco note.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe finish is long and oily, holding orange peel and dark chocolate with a faint saline lift at the very end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithin the Glenglassaugh line-up, this is the expression that leans hardest on Iberian wood. Portsoy is the peated bottling and Sandend is the bourbon-and-manzanilla-driven aperitif style; the 15 skips peat entirely and lets PX sherry and Rioja red wine casks carry the weight, which is what gives it the treacle-and-cocoa density the younger releases do not have.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServe neat in a Glencairn with a few drops of water to open the orange note; it holds up beside a sticky toffee pudding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is this whisky?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA 15-year-old unpeated Highland single malt from Glenglassaugh's coastal distillery at Sandend Bay, near Portsoy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the specs?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e15 years old, 46% ABV \/ 92 proof, matured in Pedro Ximenez sherry casks and Spanish red wine casks from Rioja, 750mL.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does it taste like?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSalted caramel, sultana and Spanish orange on the nose; treacle, caramelised date, papaya, cocoa and tobacco on the palate, finishing long on orange peel and dark chocolate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow should you enjoy it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeat in a Glencairn with a few drops of water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is this release notable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is the oldest age statement in Glenglassaugh's core range, added permanently in July 2026 and matured wholly in PX sherry and Rioja wine wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Glengassaugh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50556814950648,"sku":"19326","price":99.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0352\/3140\/0072\/files\/Glenglassaugh_15yr_Highland_Single_Malt_Whiskey_750_ml.png?v=1789859613","url":"https:\/\/thebourboncentral.com\/products\/glenglassaugh-15yr-highland-single-malt-whiskey-750-ml","provider":"Bourbon Central","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
