Glenglassaugh Portsoy is a coastal Highland single malt Scotch whisky produced at the Glenglassaugh Distillery, located on the shores of Sandend Bay near the village of Portsoy in Scotland. Named after the nearby harbour town, this expression highlights the distillery’s maritime character combined with a richer, more robust cask influence. Matured in a combination of bourbon, sherry and port casks, Portsoy is lightly peated, offering a balance of coastal freshness, gentle smoke and layered sweetness that defines the modern Glenglassaugh style.

Deep amber with copper tones, the nose opens with aromas of dark berries, plum and dried fruit layered with notes of chocolate, caramel and sweet spice. Hints of sea spray, soft smoke and toasted oak add complexity, reflecting both the coastal environment and diverse cask maturation.

The palate is medium to full-bodied and richly textured, delivering flavours of red fruit, molasses and dark chocolate supported by notes of smoked malt, spice and oak. The gentle peat influence adds depth without dominating, while a subtle maritime salinity provides balance and freshness. The finish is long and warming, with lingering notes of dried fruit, soft smoke and coastal spice.

Glenglassaugh Portsoy is a distinctive coastal single malt, combining richness, gentle peat and maritime character in a balanced and approachable style.
