Tasting Notes

NOSE: Rich maritime waves infused with tropical fruit and sherried dark soy, rolling into port with liquorice and sea kelp. TASTE: Full-bodied with dark chocolate, fermented soy and charred mango with treacle and a crack of sea salt.

Glenglassaugh Portsoy is a richly peated Highland single malt Scotch whisky, inspired by the rugged coastal environment surrounding Glenglassaugh Distillery on Scotland’s northeast shoreline. Matured in a carefully selected combination of bourbon, sherry, and port casks, this deeply characterful expression captures the distillery’s signature maritime style with layers of smoke, dark fruits, sea salt, and warming spice.

Named after the historic harbour village of Portsoy, this peated single malt balances coastal freshness with luxurious cask influence. Bourbon casks contribute creamy vanilla sweetness, sherry casks add richness and dried fruit depth, while port casks introduce elegant berry notes and soft tannins. The result is a complex and beautifully rounded whisky where smoke and maritime character remain at the forefront.

Today, Glenglassaugh continues to craft exceptional single malt Scotch whiskies, blending traditional distilling techniques with modern innovation, making it a beloved choice among whisky enthusiasts and collectors worldwide.
