Glenglassaugh 1974 37 Year Old Single Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky

For over a hundred years, the Glenglassaugh Distillery operated at its original site, producing single malt whiskies that were best known for their starring roles in renowned blended Scotch whiskies, including Cutty Sark and the Famous Grouse. In 1986, however, production at the distillery ceased, and would not be restarted until 2008, when new owners took over Glenglassaugh. While the distillery is again producing new whisky, the new owners discovered they had purchased quite a bit more than the famous distillery itself: the purchase also included a cache of some 400 casks of aging Glenglassaugh Single Malt whisky, each more than twenty years old. Glenglassaugh 37 Year Old Single Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky was distilled in 1974 and matured in a sherry cask for nearly four decades. Specially selected by the Master Distiller of Glenglassaugh and available only in the United States, the whisky encompasses all of the characteristics of classic Glenglassaugh. Bottled at cask strength without use of artificial coloring or chill filtration, the whisky earned a score of 92 points from Whisky Advocate, which named it one of the Top Top Whiskies in its Fall 2012 issue. In addition, the whisky earned the Silver Medal at the International Wine & Spirits Competition in 2012. Only 470 bottles of this whisky were ever produced, and only a handful of bottles remain available.
