Glenglassaugh Portsoy Highland Single Malt [700ML]

Description

Looking for a Highland single malt that captures the wild spirit of Scotland’s eastern coastline?

The Glenglassaugh Portsoy Highland Single Malt represents a triumphant return from one of Scotland’s most resilient distilleries. Named after the coastal village near this historic distillery founded in 1875, this expression showcases the maritime character that defines eastern Highland whiskies. What sets this apart is its unique triple cask maturation in ex-Sherry, ex-Bourbon, and Port wine casks, creating complexity that rivals expressions like The Dalmore’s aged offerings and Deanston’s innovative cask work.
