We are delighted to present Bramble Whisky Company’s latest bottling, and the oldest single malt we've produced to date.
This is actually the second Glenglassaugh we've produced. Our very first bottling in 2019 was also a Glenglassaugh, but a very different beast. That was a young, heavily peated whisky from a very active sherry cask. This is a much older, non-peated spirit that has been slowly ageing away for 15 years in a Madeira cask. Madeira aged single malts are not that unusual but are almost always seen as a finish, this is a full term maturation. We felt there was a real synergy between the Glenglassaugh spirit and the Madeira cask which has created a beautifully refined single malt.
This has produced a rich, golden dram with a nice sweetness but also a salinity.
Tasting notes - Macadamia nut, toblerone, honeysuckle & orange blossom, brandy-soaked raisin cookies, black walnuts a funky old sherry note with a long finish
