Product description

Product description
Portsoy is part of the coastal distillery's new-look core range and was named after the port town of the same name, which is one of the Glenglassaugh distillery's direct neighbours. The heavily peated and maritime Single Malt was matured in ex-sherry, ex-bourbon and port casks to give it a fruity touch.
The Glenglassaugh Distillery is located at the eastern end of Sandend Bay in Aberdeenshire, Scotland and was founded in 1875 by Col. James Moir. In 1892 Glenglassaugh was sold to Highland Distillers. Today, the distillery belongs to the Brown-Forman Group, which is responsible for brands such as Jack Daniel's and Glendronach, among others.
