    FINISH DATE

    The Chosen Few are custodians of Glenglassaugh Distillery and its precious stock of maturing casks, who nurture and champion the whiskies and spirits in their care. The team of 10 is responsible for every aspect of the distilling process from the spring water to bottling and despatch.

    Each team memeber has chosen his or her favourite cask of Glenglassaugh Highland Single Malt Scotch whisky to be bottled as "The Chosen Few".

    Each expression released in this range has a unique character of outstanding quality. This particular whisky was distilled in 2009 and has been chosen by Ronnie Lawrence, Glenglassaugh distillery Maintenance Technician matured in a 1st fill Sherry Hogshead and bottled in 2013.

    Glenglassaugh

    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.
