This is the peated version of the Glenglassaugh Octaves Classic, which were both released at the same time in June 2016. Like the ‘Classic,’ the Glenglassaugh Octaves Peated is a single malt that has matured fully in octave casks, built from the staves of larger, used casks and are generally about 1/8th the size of a butt. It bears no age statement, is non-chill-filtered without added color, and bottled at 44% ABV.
Glenglassaugh Octaves Peated Single Malt Scotch Whisky Tasting Notes
Nose: Clotted cream and apple crumble with delicious waves of sweet heather burning on a hillside.
Palate: Contrasts the warmth of cracked pepper with apricot jam and plums.
Finish: Delicate and sweet from the interaction of Highland peat with the oak casks.
