Glenglassaugh Portsoy is a single malt matured with a port wine cask finish from the coastal Aberdeenshire distillery. The port influence brings a lush red-fruit sweetness—think berries, fig, and plum—balanced by vanilla, almond, and a touch of spice, with the sea-air character keeping it refined and approachable. A versatile dram for neat enjoyment or with a splash of water.

Finish: Long and fruity, with lingering berry sweetness and port notes fading to spice and a whisper of salt.
