Glenglassaugh was founded in 1875, sat silent for more than two decades, and was revived in 2008 before Brown-Forman took ownership in 2017 and placed Barrie — with over 30 years in Scotch — at the blending helm. The distillery's seaside warehouses lend the spirit a coastal salinity you rarely find inland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the nose, mango, pineapple, and ripe peach lift over vanilla, honey, and a saline sea breeze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate, tropical fruit carries into orange citrus, toffee, gentle oak spice, and a savory mineral edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe finish is medium-long, warming, and faintly salted, with sweet fruit lingering against dry oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets it apart within the range is recognition: Whisky Advocate named Sandend its Whisky of the Year 2023 in a near-unanimous vote — a striking result for a no-age-statement, entry-tier bottling, and a signal of how deftly the manzanilla-cask component threads coastal freshness through the sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServe neat in a Glencairn, then add a few drops of water to open the tropical layers; it pairs naturally with fresh seafood or roast chicken.\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\u003eAn unpeated coastal Highland single malt from Glenglassaugh, matured in bourbon, sherry, and manzanilla casks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the specs?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e50.5% ABV (101 proof), no age statement, 750mL, Highland region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does it taste like?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTropical fruit, vanilla, and honey on the nose; citrus, toffee, and oak spice on the palate; a medium-long, faintly salted finish.\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, or alongside fresh seafood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is this release notable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt was named Whisky Advocate's Whisky of the Year 2023 — a rare honor for a no-age-statement single malt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Glenglassaugh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50062994768120,"sku":"19255","price":74.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0352\/3140\/0072\/files\/glenglassaugh-sandend-single-malt-whisky-750ml-keg-n-bottle-3811028.png?v=1785183380","url":"https:\/\/thebourboncentral.com\/products\/glenglassaugh-sandend-single-malt-whisky-750ml","provider":"Bourbon Central","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
