Glenglassaugh 12 Year Old Pedro Ximénez Cask Matured Single Malt Scotch Whisky

A landmark release from Glenglassaugh, this is the distillery’s first-ever aged Pedro Ximénez cask-matured whisky. Created exclusively for The Whisky Club by Master Blender Dr Rachel Barrie, it was matured in a combination of first-fill Spanish ex-Solera Pedro Ximénez butts and first-fill Pedro Ximénez puncheons. Non-chill filtered and bottled at natural colour, this 12-year-old Highland single malt combines Glenglassaugh’s signature tropical-maritime character with deep sherried richness.
