Glenglassaugh Evolution Single Malt Whisky

Glenglassaugh Evolution is created by maturing the whisky in a unique combination of the finest hand-picked American whiskey barrels. The result is a superbly well-balanced Single Malt Whisky, a perfect marriage of Highland malt whisky and traditionally charred American oak casks. This is the second edition of Evolution, with a lower ABV than the first edition from 2013, but similar character and distinctive personality.

Glenglassaugh Distillery, at the east end of the beautiful Sandend Bay, was founded by Col. James Moir in 1875. He quickly established a reputation for making a quality whisky and the company prospered. In 2013, the BenRiach Distillery Company took over Glenglassaugh distillery with the intention to bring this iconic distillery fully back to life by giving it the investment, commitment and care it deserves.
Glenglassaugh is produced using the highest quality of Scottish barley and traditional distilling methods, their key focus being on quality. While many distilleries have become highly automated, at Glenglassaugh their spirit is still handcrafted by a small, highly skilled team dedicated to creating the highest quality product. Only the finest casks are selected to slowly mature their precious spirit in their coastal warehouses until it is ready.
