Glenglassaugh Torfa is born where the Highland hills meet the restless Moray Firth, a whisky shaped by sea air, stone, and fire. “Torfa,” meaning “peat” in Old Norse, nods to the rugged coastline and ancient languages that have whispered through this land for centuries. The first sip feels like standing by the shore at dusk, smoke curling through salt air, bold and untamed yet unmistakably refined.

Glenglassaugh Torfa 70cl
Brand: Glenglassaugh | Category: Single Malt Scotch Whisky | ABV: 50% | Origin: Highland, Scotland | Vol: 700ml

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Waves of smoky peat drift through citrus, vanilla, and sea spray. Like the scent of driftwood fires on a windswept beach.
Palate: Full and lively. Sweet malt and charred oak meet tropical fruit, pepper, and gentle smoke. The texture is oily and rich, coating the tongue with coastal warmth.
Finish: Lingering and smoky with echoes of fruit and salt, fading slowly like the embers of a seaside bonfire.

Production Details:
Torfa is crafted using richly peated barley, a rarity for Glenglassaugh, distilled on the shores of Sandend Bay. Matured in ex-bourbon casks, it draws its depth from the contrast of smoke and sea. Each drop carries the Highland spirit’s dual nature, earthy power balanced by maritime sweetness.

Stormy nights or long conversations by the fire. Ideal for those who crave a smoky Highland whisky with elegance and a touch of adventure.

Interesting Fact:
After lying silent for over 20 years, Glenglassaugh Distillery was revived in 2008. Torfa was one of its first releases, a bold statement announcing the distillery’s return to life.

Serving Suggestions:
Enjoy neat to experience the full balance of smoke and fruit. Add a drop of water to reveal soft vanilla and citrus tones. Pairs beautifully with grilled seafood or dark chocolate.

Distillery Background:
Founded in 1875, Glenglassaugh sits on Scotland’s north coast, overlooking Sandend Bay. Its location gives its whiskies a distinctive coastal character, where salt air, sea mist, and Highland peat shape every cask.
