Product Description

A taster of peated GLENGLASSAUGH whisky is a pull to the deep maritime flavours of the North Sea coastline. Matured a few miles from the harbour village of Portsoy, Glenglassaugh is nourished by the salty sea air that whistles through our warehouses, and distilled with the mineral-rich spring water. Matured in sherry, bourbon and port casks, over time the full-bodied depth of Glenglassaugh Portsoy grows, harmoniously balanced with the rich coastal character of or peated spirit.

What critics and judges wrote

IWSC judges · Gold · 2025
Unfurling aromas of sweet coal smoke and hints of tar soap mingle effortlessly with grilled bananas. … The experience lingers with a long, evocative finish, reminiscent of a bonfire in the woods.

Dried mango and nuts lead with gentle hints of iodine and milk chocolate, unfolding into honey, toffee popcorn, and rye bread on the palate. A sweet, smoky finish lingers with burnt toast and bonfire notes.
Silver · 90 pts2024iwsc.net ↗
Caramel, grilled fruits, and a touch of honey sit upon a savoury backbone with notes of BBQ smoke and meat. The finish is pleasantly sweet and smoky; perfectly balanced!
Falstaff · October 2025
A gentle smoky note emerges from the glass, accompanied by dried fruit, nuances of seaweed, malt, oak and vanilla. The palate has a good balance of smoke, subtle sweetness of dried, dark fruit, slight saltiness and pronounced savouriness.

Whisky Advocate · David Fleming · 2024
On the palate, sweet flavors of peach tart, ripe apricots, and lemon, with peat smoke woven throughout—not dominating, just influencing a balanced, sweet profile … Peated whisky avoiders should try this one—they might find themselves converting.

Distiller · Stephanie Moreno
An inviting nose presents with a moderate smoke, mossy peat, red fruits, and some smoky bacon. … The finish is bittersweet and peat focused, but it's a bit short-lived. However, it's a pleasure to go back to for those savory/sweet/smoke flavors.

Flavor scores are our estimates. A flavor scores higher when more critics mention it and when they describe it more strongly, so no single review sets the result. They are not a rating from any publication.
