Glenglassaugh has unveiled the Serpentine Coastal Cask Collection, an exclusive lineup of three ultra-premium single malts, each aged for over five decades in carefully selected casks. These rare whiskies, shaped by the wild, salty air of Scotland’s northeastern coastline, offer an unparalleled sensory experience. With a harmonious balance of land and sea, every sip embodies the essence of its coastal origin—sweet maritime air, waves of ocean mist, and the depth of time.
The collection is named after the serpentine marble found in the cliffs surrounding the Glenglassaugh Distillery and features three distinct expressions, each aged in a unique cask:
