Sandend Whisky
Customer Rating
“This is one of my favourite whisky’s. I’m new to the whisky world, maybe a year or so been drinking it but I have tried some pretty expensive ones in my time, even a £550 bottle but this is definitely one of my favourites. Had a glass last night and the first mouthful, honestly, just felt so nice. I’m no good with the flavours but it was so warm and smooth and sticky. Also I ordered 9pm on Friday night and it came at lunch time Saturday. Ridiculously quick delivery. ”

Description
After laying silent for over two decades, the Glenglassaugh stills were fired back up in 2008, and in 2023, a brand new core range is ready! The distillery sits on the rugged north Aberdeenshire coast, nestled behind the beautiful surfer's haven, Sandend Bay. Master blender Rachel Barrie has fond childhood memories of time spent at Sandend and even learned to surf there, and now the bay is honoured in the form of this unpeated single malt. Matured in a combo of bourbon, sherry, and manzanilla casks, it's bursting with notes of tropical fruit and tablet, with delicate coastal salinity in the distance.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
We're met with delightful notes of buttery fudge, vanilla ice cream, candied mango, and salted papaya.
Palate
Tablet, mango, and toasted vanilla trickle throughout, backed by boiled pineapple sweeties and creamy barley.
Finish
Grapefruit and juicy berries, more vanilla and butterscotch, and a distant coastal breeze.
