Glenglassaugh Port Wood Finish

This item is archived.

After a twenty-one year closure, Glenglassaugh finally cranked up the machine and started producing whisky again in late 2008/early 2009. At the time, less than 400 barrels of single malt remained in the warehouses. Granted, that old whisky was well-aged and beautiful, but as you can imagine...it wasn't going to last long. Fast forward a decade and we're finally seeing Glenglassaugh reclaiming its market share. Early releases like Revival, Evolution and Torfa were rough-and-tumble young'uns, but this Port Wood Finish is starting to show the hallmarks of longer maturation. The future is bright for a distillery that no so long ago looked to have run its course. 

Producer Tasting Note

Nose: Delightful aromas of brittle toffee, blueberries and a touch of garden mint. Gentle allspice adds a delicate warmth to the nose.

Palate: Vibrant pink grapefruit and blood orange give a fantastic fresh, zest character. A slight herbal oak background leads to stewed barley in the long, crisp finish.
