What it’s like

Glenglassaugh is a coastal distillery in the north of Scotland that was closed for many years and started working again in 2008. Portsoy, named after a nearby fishing village, is its peated malt, bottled at 49.1% ABV. It combines peat smoke with sea salt, fruit and spice. It is an intense coastal malt, very different from the usual Highland style.

Nose
Peat smoke, sea salt, ripe fruit and a touch of pepper.
Palate
Intense. Smoke, salt, caramel, fruit and spice, with good body.
Finish
Long, briny and smoky, with a sweet hint of caramel and pepper.
