Everyone loves a good comeback story, especially one that involves surviving the 80’s (sorry, sorry!). Unfortunately, I can’t say that Glenglassaugh has nailed the Hollywood finish here that I had hoped for them. After years in the background, even if it was under different management, one might hope that with this new offering they would return triumphant to the playing field. I’m just not seeing that with this offering. rnrnCertainly, with age things might be different. Some water helps with that alcohol bite and bitterness, but for this review it’s about how the whisky stands alone. For the price, you could certainly do worse, but for the return of a Lost Distillery, I must admit, I wanted something more.
