The coastal distillery which was once forgotten, now re-awakened, has unearthed a Limited Release series of contemporary Highland Single Malt Scotch whiskies, offering a unique voyage of discovery into a distillery reinvigorated.
The latest additions to our series represent a new chapter for Glenglassaugh and include the distillery’s first ever wood finish expressions.
The wood finishes series features four distinct styles: a Port Wood Finish, a Peated Port Wood Finish, a Pedro Ximinez Sherry Wood Finish and a Peated Virgin Oak Wood Finish.
This expression pairs their tasty peated whisky with a finishing period in virgin American oak casks, helping to bolster the spicy notes from the smoke.
The distillery’s traditional peated whisky spent two years finishing in eponymous Virgin oak, giving aromas of toasted oak, boiled sweets, new leather and toffee.
Nose: Creamy vanilla with toasted oak spice flows over candy store confectionery and crisp freshly peated barley.
Palate: Crisp oak and hints of candied ginger, boiled sweets and brittle toffee.
Finish: Delicious, sweet peat smoke.
