Glenglassaugh Portsoy 70cl Whisky
Customer Rating
“No expert here, and normally hesitant buying “peaty” bottles, as described, however I found this to be lovely, nice amount of smokiness. Will be getting another! Brought to this from enjoying Glendronach.”

Description
After two decades of silence, the Glenglassaugh distillery reawoke in 2008, and now it's time to discover a brand new single malt, produced under the expert direction of master blender Rachel Barrie. Portsoy is a richly peated single malt, named after the coastal distillery's neighbouring harbour village. Matured in a selection of sherry, bourbon, and Port casks, it boasts a satisfyingly smoky, maritime character with waves of tropical fruit, salted liquorice, sticky soy, and chocolate.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Waves of coastal character with sweet layers of tropical fruit and herbaceous peat, toffee, milk chocolate, and sweet soy sauce.
Palate
Chocolatey malt supports grilled pineapple and treacle toffee, while that sticky soy and smoky peat tangle beneath.
Finish
Maritime peat smoke drifts softly alongside peppery oak, stewed berries, charred tropical fruits, and rich oak. Seaweed, salted liquorice, and dark chocolate-coated salted almonds linger.
