[Producer] Glenglassaugh [About the Producer] 
Glenglassaugh Distillery is an iconic single malt Scotch whisky distillery located just beyond the boundary of the Speyside region in the north-east of Scotland, close to the small town of Portsoy and picturesquely sited high above the dramatic Sandend Bay. Local barley and good supplies of pure water ensure that whisky of the highest quality is made here. Glenglassaugh was founded in 1875 by a local entrepreneur and his two nephews. In 1892 the distillery was sold to the Highland Distilleries Company who owned and operated it for many years. In 1960 the distillery was rebuilt and enlarged with the aim of producing a refined and delicate spirit which subsequently proved capable of long aging. In 1986, following an economic downturn in the industry, Glenglassaugh was mothballed and remained silent awaiting its fate. In 2008 the distillery's fortunes were revived as it was purchased by a new independent group of investors and following a refurbishment it was reopened later that year. The aim of the refurbishment was to use as much of the old equipment as possible and by using the same production methods, thanks to finding the old production records, to produce a new spirit of the highest quality as close to the spirit which had been produced before the shut down as possible.
