Glenglassaugh Revival
After being closed in 1986, the distillery resumed production in 2008. This Revival bottling represents the first whisky to be crafted at the distillery since its reopening. It matured in a combination of first-fill and refill bourbon casks, followed by a finishing period of six months in first-fill oloroso sherry butts, adding a distinctive sherry influence to the whisky’s profile.
