Glenglassaugh Distillery 40 Year Old Deluxe Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Glenglassaugh Distillery 40 Year Old Deluxe is a rare coastal single malt from Glenglassaugh Distillery on the Moray Firth coast at the edge of the beautiful Sandend Bay — a distillery with a heritage stretching back to 1875 that lay silent and forgotten for over two decades before its revival, producing award-winning vintages since the 1960s and delivering rolling waves of flavour from 40 years of unique coastal maturation.
Glenglassaugh Distillery in Sandend Bay, Aberdeenshire, was reopened in 2008 after its prolonged dormancy. The distillery’s coastal location on the Moray Firth provides a distinctive maturation environment — the sea air and humidity of the Sandend Bay shoreline contributing to the luscious coastal malt character that defines Glenglassaugh’s style, the bounty of land and sea influencing the spirit over decades.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Glenglassaugh’s coastal location distinctive?
Glenglassaugh sits directly on the Moray Firth coast at Sandend Bay. The distillery’s proximity to the sea means the warehouses are subject to the full influence of the coastal salt air and humidity — producing a distinctly maritime character in the maturing spirit that is different from inland Highland distilleries.
