Unearth a coastal Highland classic with Glenglassaugh 25 Year Old – 1984 Vintage, Old Malt Cask. Distilled two years before the distillery’s long mothballing and laid to rest in Sherry Butt #5362, this whisky was bottled in July 2009 by Hunter Laing & Co. to showcase the very essence of Sandend Bay’s maritime malt. At the Old Malt Cask’s trademark 50 % ABV, non-chill-filtered and natural in colour, only 624 individually numbered bottles exist—capturing Glenglassaugh’s honey-fruit purity wrapped in mature sherry richness and salty sea air.

Why We Think You’ll Love It:

  • Drawn from a single sherry butt filled in 1984—two years before Glenglassaugh’s 22-year closure—offering a snapshot of lost-era spirit.

  • 25 years of seaside aging meld orchard sweetness, rich dried fruit and subtle maritime salinity.

  • Bottled at the classic Old Malt Cask strength of 50 % ABV, non-chill-filtered and natural colour for full flavour integrity.

  • Limited to 624 bottles, making it a coveted addition for collectors and fans of sherried coastal single malts.

Raise a glass to the rugged shores of Sandend with this rare Glenglassaugh—where mature sherry depth meets windswept Highland character in every savoury-sweet sip.
