Glenglassaugh Peated Torfa
Torfa is old Norse for peat or turf, so unsurprisingly this the Glenglassaugh's first release of peated single malt. The malt is smoked to a phenol level of 20ppm which is relatively restrained compared to some of the peaty monsters available these days. This is also quite a young whisky so the smoke is actually a little more noticeable than it would be if it were aged longer. Another welcome addition to the Glenglassaugh range.
