Great review and thanks for sharing your experience at Glenglassaugh. I recently had a taste of a single cask 9 year aged in a wine cask (not Sauternes) and it drank like a 15 to 20 year whisky. It’s Raspberry jam and enough spice to really get the palate juices going. It was almost £100 but recently went on offer for £75 so I bought a bottle. Rachel Barrie done good although Billy Walker might have had more say on this one?
Great film. I’ve been lucky enough to visit Glenglassaugh a couple of times and on each occasion hand filled a bottle in the visitor centre. My question is about their core range: the maturing stock of whisky distilled after 2008 should surely allow for an age-stated core release. Do they plan to replace the three NAS expressions anytime soon?
This is a tour specially arranged for the media? Amazing what they offer you for the tasting; most other distilleries will only get you the core range. These rare casks are available to buy at the visitor shop? Any idea when they will re-open?
Hey Ben! Thanks for the questions! We aren’t part of any media, but we have a close relationship with Brown Forman, so we got lucky enough to get a special tour. Completely agree that most distilleries just offer the core range, that’s why we felt super special and thankful for the treatment. Those rare casks aren’t available anymore unless you can find them on auction websites. Such a shame. Since the distillery is currently closed they aren’t doing anything special. Hopefully when they re-open they can bring new things. Ema, the tour guide on the day, didn’t have any specific timeline as to when the distillery is going to open. She said anything from 1 year to 2. Hopefully less. Such a great whisky!
@@TheWhiskyDiaries closed for 1-2 years without the exact time of reopening? It must be a big makeover? . Does it mean production stops too? With your connection with BF, can u give some inside info on why there are still no 2022 releases of their Glendronach 18 and 21 YO😁😁😅?
@@B.H90 yes Ben. They are fully closed and no productions has been going for the last year and possibly another 2 years. They are bringing out new releases in the next year because they have a few thousand barrels aging, but they aren’t making any new make at the moment, so we are expecting a bit of a shortage in about 5 years. As for GlenDronach, they are actually out of stock. I don’t think they will be releasing a 2022 edition. Probably next year. Fingers crossed!

I’m not sure to be honest. They did say they had some releases this year but didn’t go into further details of what was planned.
