Glenglassaugh has been distilled only sporadically throughout its lifetime. Built in 1875, the distillery was in operation for only five years between 1908 and 1960, and was mothballed again by Highland Distillers in 1986.
Glenglassaugh restarted production in 2008 under new owners the Scaent group before being acquired in 2013 by Billy Walker’s Benriach Distillery Company. Benriach was then snapped up by Brown Forman in 2016 before Walker had had time to properly work the magic that revived Benriach and Glendronach.
With large production gaps and the new spirit from the 2008 reopening only just starting to come of age, it’s unsurprising that official bottlings of Glenglassaugh have been patchy. Both Walker and Scaent bottled some top class long-aged stock, and Walker also released a popular young peated Glenglassaugh called Torfa. Some excellent post-2008 Glenglassaughs have now started to appear from independent bottlers.
The Scotch Malt Whisky Society (SMWS) began in late 1970s Edinburgh when founder Pip Hills persuaded a group of friends to chip in for a cask of Glenfarclas, and was officially formalised in 1983. Today the SMWS has two venues in Edinburgh, a London bar and a string of international partnerships serving its 35,000 members.
The Society’s whiskies are known for their unique SMWS coding system. Each cask bottled is assigned two numbers, representing the distillery and the bottling number, so 1.45 is the forty-fifth cask bottled from the first distillery and 33.27 is the 27th cask from the 33rd distillery.
Glenmorangie bought the Society in 2004, but sold it in 2015 to a private consortium who floated the SMWS on the stock market in 2021 via their holding company Artisanal Spirits Co.
