The Malt that Glenglassaugh produced was one of 15 Whiskies used in the blending of the original "Cutty Sark". When the distillery started to look uneconomic (ageing workforce, nobody really wanting to live and work two miles from the closest shop for minimal pay) they changed the blend, dropping Glenglassaugh and two others. It was marketed for export to the US for several years under the new name of "Cutty 12", implying it had been matured for 12 years (as a blend, the individual components had been matured for different times) when it really meant it was a blend of 12 different whiskies. By 2000, it had been renamed "Cutty Sark", and was easily available in the UK again. 
As far as I know, the only part of Glenglassaugh still in use is the smaller of the Customs bonded warehouses, which still contains barrels from the last years of the distillery's production maturing to be sold as 16 or 21 year-old cask conditioned single malt. 
I'm assuming this is still the case, but I haven't actually talked to anyone connected with Highland Distilleries in over a decade now.
