When I talk about my go to whiskies, I often forget to mention Glenglassaugh. Quite wrongly so, because their Evolution is the one I keep returning to as an example of a well crafted bourbon matured whisky.

It’s the dram I take to make my palate ready for a tasting session with for the most part bourbon casked drams. But it’s not the first Glenglassaugh we’ve encountered. A couple of years ago, Stefan (our third invisible consultant) had an urge to buy everything that had peat on the label. Remember him from some posts earlier? Fun guy.

This 50% ABV single malt from the Highlands had something different, compared to other more well known peated whiskies:

The notes of white grapes and melon are wonderful. It’s a refreshing dram, not too sweet but sweet enough. The salty peated character resembles Highland Park, but this has more body. Not the most exciting, but a pretty reliable dram. I recommend to not miss out on some of their whiskies. Grreat value for money!
