Glenglassaugh

Torfa 700mL

Glenglassaugh Distillery, standing on the Moray Firth Coast at the edge of S'andend Bay, is a distillery which lay silent and forgotten for over two decades. Its heritage stretches back to 1875 and the distinctive fruity character of its whisky is loved by all who discover it. After being mothballed for over 20 years, production was restarted in 2008. The first whisky from this refurbished distillery is now available to single malt Scotch whisky lovers everywhere. At Glenglassaugh, in addition to the traditional production, we also produce a very limited quantity of whisky using richly peated malted barley as the cereal varietal. The malted barley has been dried in the traditional way, over peat infused kilns, giving the whisky its unique smoky flavour. Glenglassaugh 'Torfa', with its peaty, phenolic nature, is a unique expression, and is quite different to the usual style of whisky produced in the Highlands. 'Torfa', referring to the Old Norse word for peat, is a brooding, edgy character, whose personality is to be found at the darker end of the spectrum.
