Glenglassaugh 2008 The First Cask (2011)

Raise a toast to new beginnings with Glenglassaugh “The First Cask” – 2008 Vintage (bottled 2011). Distilled soon after the coastal Highland distillery’s 2008 revival, this whisky was drawn from Sherry Butt #1—the very first cask laid down under the new ownership—and bottled just three years later as a celebratory snapshot of Glenglassaugh’s rebirth. Limited to 650 individually numbered bottles, this youthful single malt captures the fresh, maritime spirit of Sandend Bay, wrapped in an early kiss of sherry-cask sweetness.

Why We Think You’ll Love It:

• Distillery milestone: the first sherry butt (#1) filled after Glenglassaugh’s 2008 restart—bottled to mark the renaissance.

• Offers a rare glimpse of ultra-young Glenglassaugh, balancing crisp coastal freshness with early sherry richness.

• Limited to 650 bottles, making it a sought-after collectible for fans of the distillery’s modern era.

• Bottled at natural colour and without chill-filtration, preserving the whisky’s vibrant texture and authentic flavour.

Enjoy this historic dram for its spirited energy and symbolic place in Glenglassaugh’s resurgence—an exuberant coastal malt that celebrates the dawn of a new chapter.
