This expression of Glenglassaugh was matured in first fill ex-George Dickel, Tennesse whisky barrels.
Glenglassaugh describe this whisky as: "Sweet, buttery vanilla mingles with caramelised pears, apples and earthy coconut tones."
The Master Distiller has selected a limited number of Virgin Oak casks to finish maturing the peated Glenglassaugh single malt. During the second period of maturation he says 'the whisky interacts with the wood, adding an intriguing range of flavours and aromas specific to the Virgin Oak cask.'
The first Single Malt Scotch Whisky from the re-furbished Glenglassaugh Distillery which is a general release. The Glenglassaugh Revival is a combination of first and refill cask styles, finished in 1st fill Oloroso sherry butts for a period of 6 months. Non-chill filtered and natural colour.
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.
