Glenglassaugh Octaves Peated Batch 2 | 700ml 44% Whisky

Master Blender, Rachel Barrie, has carefully selected a number of casks to be bottled as the Glenglassaugh Octaves Peated. Using richly peated malted barley as the cereal varietal, this whisky has been matured in octave casks, made from staves of a used cask, that are approximately 1/8th the size of a butt. A smaller cask allows for more interaction between the wood and the spirit, giving the whisky a great depth of flavour in a short period of time. Bottled at 44%, non chill filtered and natural colour.

Tasting Notes 

Nose: An intriguing balance of sweetness and savoury smoke, spiced by the sea. Salted caramel shortbread gives way to chilli chocolate and burning driftwood, as smoked fish and smooth mongo waft through sea air. 

Palate: Sip apricot, ginger and mango salsa, becoming smoky bacon and paprika spiced yellow plum, layered with barbecue smoked maple wood.

Finish: Savour roasted nuts and spiced fruit as lingering wood smoke carries into the salted maple syrup finish.
