Glenglassaugh Torfa Whisky

Glenglassaugh Torfa is a peated single malt Scotch whisky from the coastal Glenglassaugh distillery near Portsoy, and the first peated whisky released since the distillery's revival. Its name comes from the Old Norse word for peat. Peated to 20ppm and fully matured in ex-bourbon barrels, it is bottled at 50% ABV without chill filtration or added colouring.

The nose brings sweet, sooty campfire smoke and sea air, infused with lime zest, apricot jam and ripe soft fruits. On the palate, a sweet coastal peat smoke wraps around candied peel, melon, pineapple and roasted red apples. The finish is a heady yet elegant harmony of coastal peat and spiced fruit, making it a fine choice for those who appreciate a smoky malt with maritime character.
