Glenglassaugh 1986
The Manager's Legacy - Dod Cameron
Glenglassaugh 1986
Glenglassaugh Distillery overlooks Sandend Bay and the Moray Firth on Scotland's rugged North-East Coast. The tough marine environment has helped shape the character of this outstanding malt whisky from a distillery which has had its own fights to survive in the past.
Now re-opened and under new ownership comes a release of limited edition single cask bottlings, each one has been bottled at cask strength, without chill-filtration and with no colouring added.
The range celebrates the achievements and influence of four distillery managers between the period 1964 to 1986. This rare bottle is a testament to the manager in charge when the spirit was distilled and filled into cask.
This is a 1986 vintage single malt, which was hand bottled at the distillery in 2010 celebrates Dod Cameron's time as the distillery manager from August 1974 - December 1986.
From a Refill Butt, one of only 500 individually numbered bottles.
This remote coastal Highland distillery is one that could have been so easily lost. Established in 1873 by James Muir, its history has been littered with periods of closure and various owners. The final period of closure came in 1986 before the distillery was saved by the Scaent group in 2008 and production restarted. For much of its life, Glenglassaugh has been a blend component, but step back a few decades, or try some of the well-aged releases and you can sense a whisky that deserves more prominence. Production today remains modest compared to many other similarly sized distilleries with a small percentage being a peated distillate. Much of what’s being released today is of a No Age Statement ilk, as Glenglassaugh has that huge 22 year period of closure to overcome. Now under the ownership of Brown Forman, more investment and re-evaluation are potentially on the cards, as the distillery begins to find its voice.
