Raise a toast to new beginnings with Glenglassaugh “The First Cask” – 2008 Vintage (bottled 2011). Distilled soon after the coastal Highland distillery’s 2008 revival, this whisky was drawn from Sherry Butt #1—the very first cask laid down under the new ownership—and bottled just three years later as a celebratory snapshot of Glenglassaugh’s rebirth. Limited to 650 individually numbered bottles, this youthful single malt captures the fresh, maritime spirit of Sandend Bay, wrapped in an early kiss of sherry-cask sweetness.

Why We Think You’ll Love It:

  • Distillery milestone: the first sherry butt (#1) filled after Glenglassaugh’s 2008 restart—bottled to mark the renaissance.

  • Offers a rare glimpse of ultra-young Glenglassaugh, balancing crisp coastal freshness with early sherry richness.

  • Limited to 650 bottles, making it a sought-after collectible for fans of the distillery’s modern era.

  • Bottled at natural colour and without chill-filtration, preserving the whisky’s vibrant texture and authentic flavour.

Enjoy this historic dram for its spirited energy and symbolic place in Glenglassaugh’s resurgence—an exuberant coastal malt that celebrates the dawn of a new chapter.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Bright notes of sea-spray and lemon bon-bons mingle with soft toffee, sultanas and freshly planed oak. Palate: A lively fusion of creamy malt, dried apricot and vanilla fudge, followed by a ripple of cinnamon, ginger snap and coastal salinity. Finish: Medium, clean and gently warming—leaving lingering malt sweetness, a hint of brine and a final touch of spiced raisin bread.
