Glenglassaugh 1967 Manager's Legacy Walter Grant

Situated just north of the Speyside region border, Glenglassaugh is an interesting single malt. So interesting in fact, that it proved difficult for blenders to marry with other whiskies, and it closed down in 1986, deemed surplus to requirements in the era of oversupply in the whisky industry. With the evolution of the single malt market in the years that followed, the distillery made a surprise comeback in 2008 when it was revived by a group of private investors. It then found its feet as part of the Benriach Distillery Company, and is now part of the Brown-Forman stable. Releases from both sides of its 22 year hiatus are very well regarded.

From 1962 until 1986, when the previous owners mothballed the distillery, Glenglassaugh was managed by only 4 people.

  •  Walter Grant – March 1962 to August 1967
  •  Bert Forsyth – September 1967 to July 1972
  •  Jim Cryle – August 1972 to August 1974
  • Dod Cameron – September 1974 to December 1986

This 1967 vintage Glenglassaugh is dedicated to Walter Grant. The whisky was distilled in May 1967 and laid to rest in a refill hogshead before being bottled in 2010.

One of 200 bottles.
