GLENGLASSAUGH 46-YEARS-OLD might be a difficult name to say but it’s an easy Scotch to love. The Highland malt maker (it’s pronounced ‘Glen-GLASS-suh’, by the way) is something of a curiosity in the world of whisky: revered by cognoscenti, overlooked by just about everyone else. If you’re in the latter camp, it’s time to take a deep dive. There’s no time like the present, they say, and today the distillery offers up a particularly compelling point of entry. In a Men’s Journal exclusive, it announces the limited release of Glenglassaugh 46-Year-Old.

The bottle will be priced at $4,800 and made available solely to the U.S. market.
Glenglassaugh 46 is like a message in a bottle, according to master distiller Rachel Barrie. That message is more like a sea shanty—a deep and soulful tune evocative of the liquid’s maritime origin.
“It was distilled on the 3rd of September 1975 and matured entirely along the shores of Sandend Bay,” she explains, referring to the idyllic fishing village in northeastern Scotland that the distillery calls home. “It offers rolling waves of silky tropical fruit, carried on a seductive ocean breeze. Simply put, it is the quintessential coastal single malt.”
