There are two kinds of whisky people. Those that like to brag about their latest purchase. And then there are those that like to share their latest purchase with friends because let’s face it, whisky always tastes better when it’s shared. Our dear friend Rob is one of those whisky sharers. We like Rob.
The subject of today’s review is a recent Rob purchase which he lent us to review. The bottle came to us unopened so that we would be the first to have a crack at it.
The name of this whisky is the Glenglassaugh Sandend. It’s a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky which was declared the 2023 Whisky of the Year in a recent issue of Whisky Advocate. They gave it a 95! We’re here to find out if it’s worthy of such high praise.
Here are a few words about this whisky from the distillery website:
Glenglassaugh Sandend is inspired by the crescent beach of Sandend Bay where the distillery resides. Enriched in bourbon, sherry and manzanilla casks, over time the lush flavour of Glenglassaugh Sandend brightens into waves of tropical sweetness, infused with a crack of sea salt.
50.5% ABV
