Glenglassaugh Torfa

Description

At Glenglassaugh, in addition to the traditional production, we also produce a very limited quantity of whiskey using richly peated malted barley as the cereal varietal. The malted barley has been dried in the traditional way, over peat infused kilns, giving the whiskey its unique smoky flavor. Glenglassaugh Torfa, with its peaty, phenolic nature, is a unique expression and is quite different to the usual style of whiskey produced in the Highlands. 50% ABVTasting Notes Color Gleaming yellow gold.Nose Vivid, sweet, sooty campfire smoke and sea air infuse zest of lime, apricot jam, and ripe soft fruits; all gently warmed by hints of stem ginger and cracked black pepper.Palate An eloquent, sweet coastal peat smoke engulfs candied peel over melon, pineapple and roasted red apples. Oat biscuits, hints of heather honey and a gentle cigar box spice all combine to give a terrific balance to the expressive smoky character.Finish A heady, yet elegant, harmony of distinct coastal peat and striking spiced fruit flavors.AWARDS2016 IWSC Silver – Quality Award2014 IWSC Silver – Quality Award, Outstanding
