Glenglassaugh Revival Single Malt Scotch

750 mL
Item # 36356

A solid re-introduction to this brand after way too long of a gap. But thankfully Revival and the other whiskies to come here are worth the wait. Aged in a combination of first fill and re-fill casks before being finished for six months in first fill oloroso sherry casks. The telltale fruit of these whisky is there in spades eventually giving way to more earth driven flavors of rich malt and delicate oak.

Notes of spiced malt, oranges, almonds, milk chocolate, honeyed fruits, and oily walnuts. Glenglassaugh (pronounced Glen-gla-ssoch) distillery was revived in 2008, and with it, a style of whisky I think we all need to remember.

History:Distillation was brought to Scotland from Ireland by missionary monks in the 6th century. In 1644, the first taxes were imposed on Scottish distillers by England, with the result that most of the nation’s whisky was soon distilled illicitly. With the Parliament’s passing of the “Excise Act” in 1824, licensing fees for distilleries were much cheaper.
