[Glenglassaugh Distillery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glenglassaugh-44-years-old) is relaunching its core range with three coastal single malt whiskies, including the Glenglassaugh 12 Years Old, the Sandend, and the Portsoy. All releases are accompanied by a new bottle design. The portfolio is inspired by coastal influences, emphasizing lush, vibrant coastal spirits. In step with this influence, Glenglassaugh's single malt whiskies have been gently matured in coastal warehouses overlooking Sandend Bay.

The ingredients and aromatics of the three single malt whiskies are noteworthy. While the 12 Year Old Single Malt features [bourbon, sherry, and red wine casks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pursuit-of-passion-wine-cask-collection) that boast waves of ripe fruit, the Sandend—which was matured in bourbon, sherry, and manzanilla casks, provides tropical sweetness with a hint of sea salt. The Portsoy, on the other hand, was matured in [sherry, bourbon, and port casks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tamnavulin-port-cask-edition). It offers a richly peated, maritime flavor.
