Glenglassaugh Peated Port Wood Finish

Gorgeous maple syrup and campfire 🔥 Christmas gift from christine in 2022

A delicate and beautifully balanced nose, with smoke, fruit and cream in perfect harmony. There’s no Islay drama here - the peat is in a supporting role to sweet strawberries, apple, pears, honey and ginger. The arrival has more bite, if not quite the same complexity. White pepper and orange. There’s a dryness on the palette that’s a nice contrast to the sweetness of the nose. This is superbly executed peated malt, and a perfect dram for introducing friends into the world of smoky whisky’s.

Absolutely love it As soon as i’ve put my nose into the glass it reminded me of Lagavulin 16. Sweet smoke which surrounds the sweet fruites, however this sweetness was more present and more divided from the smoke then in Lagavulin. Also Lagavulin, being an Islay scotch has saltyness/brine to it and a little medicinal-ness. This has none, this peatsmoke is dry and sweet. And this delivers on the palate and finish too. Very great whisky, on a very good price. Totally recommend it
