Glenglassaugh Peated Torfa

50% | 70cl | Highlands | Peated | 20ppm

The Torfa (which refers to the Old Norse word for turf or peat) has been fully matured in ex-bourbon barrels and weighs in at 20 PPM. Torfa is a 2014 release from Glenglassaugh. This is the first peated whisky from this Highland distillery located in Port Soy.

Nose: Vivid, sweet, sooty campfire smoke and sea air infuses zest of lime, apricot jam and ripe soft fruits; all gently warmed by hints of stem ginger and cracked black pepper.
Palate: An eloquent, sweet coastal peat smoke engulfs candied peel over melon, pineapple and roasted red apples. Oat biscuits, hints of heather honey and a gentle cigar box spice all combine to give a terrific balance to the expressive smoky character.
Finish: A heady, yet elegant, harmony of distinct coastal peat and striking spiced fruit flavours.
