Glenglassaugh – Portsoy (70cl, 49.1%)

Glenglassaugh Portsoy is a peated single malt named after the harbour village a short walk from the distillery. It is bottled at 49.1% in a 70cl bottle. The whisky was aged in bourbon, sherry and port casks. Glenglassaugh uses peated malt only at certain times of the year, which makes its smoky releases an occasional occurrence. The character is maritime, deep and rich. The nose brings smoky marshmallows, tarry seaside aromas and fruit punch. On the palate the texture is soft and sticky, with elegant tarry smoke, anise and dried raspberries. The long finish carries charred fruits, dark chocolate, vanilla and a hint of gunpowder.
