About Glenglassaugh
A coastal distillery near Portsoy with a famously interrupted history — mothballed 1986, resurrected 2008, and reclassified by the SWA from Speyside to Highland in 2009. Now owned by Brown-Forman (GlenDronach, BenRiach sister), with distinctively coastal, salty-sweet core releases.
