Glenglassaugh Scotch Whisky

Glenglassaugh Scotch whisky distillery was built in 1874 at Craig mills farm, Portsoy, Aberdeenshire.

Production in 1898 was 110,000 gallons but fell back with the decline in demand to 28,000 gallons in 1907 and as a result the plant was mothballed in 1908.

The distillery was briefly reopened in 1931 however was mothballed again in 1936. The distillery was completely renovated and re-equipped over the1956 to 60. period.

The distillery was mothballed again in 1986, as the demand for this particular whisky was low, though the warehouses continued to be used for maturing stock.

The distillery was bought in 2008 by The Scaent Group and brought back to life with a New Make Spirit released in 2009.
