Glenglassaugh Portsoy, 49.1%

A peated sibling to Glenglassaugh Sandend. Vanilla pastry and other bakery aromas on the nose, tempered by drying oak. On the palate, sweet flavors of peach tart, ripe apricots, and lemon, with peat smoke woven throughout—not dominating, just influencing a balanced, sweet profile and letting you know it’s in the game. A lengthy peated finish with generous spice. Peated whisky avoiders should try this one—they might find themselves converting.
