About this bottle

Released November 2017, Peated Port Wood Finish is one of four single malts in the Wood Finish Collection, the first wood finish bottlings in the distillery's history. All four no-age statement single malts age first in first-fill American oak barrels. The whisky then transfers to their respective casks for up to two years, port wood for this release. Glenglassaugh Distillery reopened in 2008 after being mothballed for over 20 years. Each is bottled at 46% ABV.

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

Pink blush. Soft and delicate. Slight hint of rose as the palate finishes. Dry. Ginger. Fine tannin? Pair with dark chocolate and licorice?

vol van smaak, toch zacht en pittig tegelijk, beetje rokerig en vol sherry.. reuk: tonen van vanille
