The Glenglassaugh Portsoy is a richly peated single malt whisky named after the distillery's neighboring harbor village. This exceptional whisky is matured in a combination of sherry, bourbon, and port casks, imparting a deep maritime flavor with notes of tropical fruit, dark soy, liquorice, and sea kelp. On the palate, it offers complex flavors of dark chocolate, fermented soy, charred mango, and sea salt, creating a unique and immersive tasting experience.
Bottled at a robust 49.1% ABV, the Glenglassaugh Portsoy embodies a harmonious balance of rich coastal character and full-bodied depth. It is meticulously crafted under the expert direction of master blender Rachel Barrie, and matures in the distillery's coastal warehouses overlooking the rolling surf of Sandend Bay.
