Overview

More Info

Named for the harbor village down the coast from the distillery, Portsoy is Glenglassaugh's peated expression, a departure from their usual maritime-only style. Aged across bourbon, sherry, and port casks in warehouses overlooking Sandend Bay, it comes in at 49.1% ABV. Expect smoke and sea salt up front, giving way to dark chocolate, charred mango, and a savory hit of soy before drying out with salted almonds and spice. Pour it neat by the fire.
Tasting notes

Nose: Waves of coastal character with sweet layers of tropical fruit and herbaceous peat, toffee, milk chocolate, and sweet soy sauce.

Palate: Chocolatey malt supports grilled pineapple and treacle toffee, while that sticky soy and smoky peat tangle beneath.

Finish: Maritime peat smoke drifts softly alongside peppery oak, stewed berries, charred tropical fruits, and rich oak. Seaweed, salted liquorice, and dark chocolate-coated salted almonds linger.
