1978 Glenglassaugh Rare Cask Release Cask #2343 Pedro Ximenez Sherry Puncheon 38 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
Note: These are museum stocks and therefore may show tiny signs of age such as slight frays on a corner or tiny bubbles in the label on the side or back.
Batch 3 of Glenglassaugh’s "Rare Cask Releases" are now available, with each cask distilled between 1965 and 1986 providing a rare glimpse into the distillery's history. As expected, the Australian allocations are smaller then ever. We currently have just three expressions on offer: the 1975, 1978 and the 1986.
Notes for the '78 (distilled in June 1978), anticipate a venerable whisky with a profound Sherry input from nearly four decades in a PX puncheon. This is one from a tiny outturn of just 722 bottles world wide.
Notes from Glenglassaugh: Colour: Rich polished red wood. Nose: Gentle cedar wood, honeycomb, red summer fruits and a hint of rich marmalade. Palate: Fresh red grape, ripe gooseberry, a dusting of muscovado sugar and delicate orange blossom. 42.5% Alc./Vol.
