The well-known and award-winning Scottish distillery [Glenglassaugh](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glenglassaugh-44-years-old) recently announced the release of a special, limited-edition scotch whisky—the 46-Year-Old [Single Malt Scotch Whisky](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tomintoul-single-malt). This is considered to be one of the distillery's "oldest and rarest expressions to date."

Paying homage to expert craftsmanship, exceptional taste, and a knack for compelling storytelling, the limited-edition scotch whisky has a beautiful deep golden amber color. The smell betrays notes of luscious mango, plum, cherry, and black currant. These are complicated by the subtle presence of polished oak, red grape, and ambergris. The palette shares "rolling waves of tropical fruit," and the cherry, mango, and black currant that are hinted at the first whiff.

The Glenglassaugh 46-Year-Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky retails for a suggested price of $4,800 USD. Each bottle is hand-numbered.
