Celebrate four decades of coastal Highland maturation with Glenglassaugh 40 Year Old – 1975 Rare Cask, PX Hogshead #3171. Filled into a single Pedro Ximénez sherry hogshead in 1975 and drawn in September 2015, this venerable malt captures Sea-air elegance drenched in sun-ripened sherry richness. Only 205 bottles emerged—this being Bottle #1—each presented non-chill-filtered and at natural colour. Years of gentle slumber beside Sandend Bay have fused tropical fruit, antique oak and maritime brine into a whisky of unrivalled depth and grace.

Why We Think You’ll Love It:

  • Single-cask rarity: only 205 bottles—and you hold Bottle #1 from PX Hogshead #3171.

  • 40 years beside Sandend Bay marry Glenglassaugh’s honeyed malt with opulent sherry depths and a soft maritime breeze.

  • Bottled non-chill-filtered at natural colour and cask strength, preserving every layer of texture, aroma and coastal complexity.

  • A crown-jewel Highland dram for collectors and sherried-malt connoisseurs seeking the ultimate expression of mature PX richness and coastal refinement.

Raise a glass to time, tide and tradition with this extraordinary Glenglassaugh—a stately whisky that weaves four decades of history into each unforgettable sip.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Waves of raisin syrup, polished mahogany and salted caramel drift over hints of dried mango, beeswax and distant sea-spray. Palate: Velvet layers of fig compôte, dark chocolate truffle and treacle-toffee glide across the tongue, entwined with walnut loaf, clove and a subtle coastal salinity. Finish: Long, warming and profoundly elegant—lingering PX-soaked fruitcake, mellow oak spice and a final whisper of sweet pipe-tobacco and briny toffee.
