Glenglassaugh Sandend Highland Single Malt Review
In the realm of Scotch, more importance is often placed on age than alcohol content, but this whisky challenges that dynamic. At a well-balanced 50.5 percent ABV, with no age statement given, it dances between decadent sweetness (caramel, butterscotch) and vibrant tropical fruits, with a touch of briny salinity to round out the palate. This Highland single malt is truly outstanding and more than deserving of its recent packaging redesign.
