Glenglassaugh Sandend is a coastal Highland single malt Scotch whisky produced at the Glenglassaugh Distillery, located on the shores of Sandend Bay in Scotland. Named after the nearby beach, this expression reflects the distillery’s maritime environment and focus on bright, fruit-driven character. Matured in a combination of bourbon, sherry and manzanilla casks, Sandend highlights a lighter, fresher style within the range, balancing coastal influence with soft sweetness and subtle complexity. Bright golden in colour, the nose opens with aromas of tropical fruit, pineapple and mango layered with notes of citrus, vanilla and soft oak. Hints of sea breeze, salted caramel and gentle spice add lift and freshness. The palate is medium-bodied and smooth, delivering flavours of ripe stone fruit, citrus and honey supported by notes of vanilla, light spice and a touch of brine. The texture is soft and approachable, with a balance of sweetness and freshness that reflects its coastal maturation. The finish is clean and lingering, with notes of fruit, gentle spice and a subtle saline edge. Glenglassaugh Sandend is a vibrant and approachable coastal single malt, offering a fresh and fruit-forward interpretation of Highland Scotch whisky.
