On Thursday, scotch whisky producer Glenglassaugh Distillery announced the release of a 46-year-old single malt, coming exclusively to the U.S.
Distilled in 1975, this whisky was selected by master blender Rachel Barrie before behind bottled at 41.7% ABV.
“It’s impossible to separate Glenglassaugh the whisky from Glenglassaugh the place,” Barrie said in a news release. “The lush sweetness of this coastal single malt is a complete distillation of its natural surroundings. Its whole essence is created by both the visible and invisible influences of land, sea, air and spring water.”
Glenglassaugh 46 will retail at select locations in the U.S. at a suggested retail price of $4,800.
Glenglassaugh released a 50-year-old scotch in 2021.
