Glenglassaugh Sandend Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Whisky Advocate - 2023 Whisky of the Year   95 Points

"Glenglassaugh Distillery is situated on the north coast of Scotland, perched upon high ground overlooking the North Sea. The whisky is often described as a 'coastal' Highland malt, which seems a fair assessment. This non-age statement expression, named for the bay offshore, is bright and delicate, with aromas of citrus and minerality leading to a luscious palate filled with layers of flavour revealing peach, apricot, honey, pound cake, and vanilla, all accented with a touch of sea salt. Rolling spices help create an explosive, long-lasting finish. It's gentle yet complex, but above all it's an easy sipper you can just sit back and enjoy."  Whisky Advocate
