The Glenglassaugh Torfa Bourbon is a remarkable peated single malt whisky, boasting a formidable strength of 50% ABV. Originating from the acclaimed Glenglassaugh distillery in the Highlands, this 2014 bottling is a true testament to the craftsmanship and tradition that the brand embodies. Matured entirely in ex-bourbon barrels, the Torfa Bourbon delivers an unparalleled smoky flavor profile. The malted barley used in this whisky is dried in traditional peat-infused kilns, imparting a distinctive phenolic character that distinguishes it from other Highland whiskies. Nestled in a low-lying area a mere five minutes from Sandend Bay, Glenglassaugh has a rich history dating back to its establishment in 1874. Despite experiencing several closures and reopenings, the distillery found a new lease on life when acquired by the Benriach Distillery in 2008. The Torfa Bourbon, a limited release, is not chill-filtered or artificially colored, ensuring a pure and authentic drinking experience. With its unique peatiness and high alcohol content, this whisky is an extraordinary expression of Glenglassaugh's refined whisky-making prowess.
