Glenglassaugh Manager's Legacy Release No. 4 Walter Grant
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.40%

Single Malt - Scotland - 49.60%
8 Complex and confident. Lovely stuff!

Berry's Own Selection Glenglassaugh

Cadenhead's Glenglassaugh 25 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 45.20%
7 Glenglassaugh can be malty, and this one is. It stands up very well for it's age. In this bottling, with an apricot colour that suggests sherry, very much a dessert whisky.

Cadenhead's Glenglassaugh 26 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 51.10%
7 This has dried out to a point where it is aggressive and unbalanced.

Dewar Rattray Glenglassaugh 1976 29 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 53.00%
7 Of interest, but not great.

Dewar Rattray Glenglassaugh 21 Years Old 1986

6 “Sweet and sulphury”now, there's a catchy brand name.

Master of Malt Glenglassaugh 25 Years Old 1984
Single Malt - Scotland - 54.70%
7 Another oak and oak only whisky. I must have an oak-(over)sensitive palate!

Old Malt Cask Glenglassaugh 30 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 45.60%
7 Another whose palate runs counter to its nose.
