This only peat whisky in the Scotch brand’s offer proves that it can easily match the splines of distilleries specializing only in smoky alcohols.
Glenglassaugh Distillery is located on the Moray Firth, on the edge of the beautiful Sandend Bay. Its origins date back to 1875, when Colonel James Moir decided to take up the production of whisky. The distillery’s products quickly gained a great reputation as the company developed under the leadership of Moira’s two nephews. In 1892, the distillery was purchased by Highland Distillers. In 1907, due to the collapse of the market, the distillery had to be closed. However, she was still engaged in malting barley. Whisky production returned in 1960. Unfortunately, already in 1986, the door to the plant was boarded up again. The distillery remained silent for over 20 years until it was bought by a group of investors and restarted production in December 2008. In 2013, the BenRiach Distillery Company acquired Glenglassaugh Distillery with the intention of bringing it back to life. And it worked!

PRODUCENT - Whisky
The whiskey most likely comes from Ireland. Irish monks were making a liquor known as aqua vitae (the Gaelic name uisge beatha is a translation from Latin) as early as the 7th century. It was a mixture obtained by distillation of fruit fermentation products and used exclusively for medicinal purposes as a means of prolonging life, relieving some ailments (such as colic) and diseases (paralysis, smallpox and others). According to legend, whiskey was invented by St. Patrick. From the 17th century, the shortened form uiskie began to be used, and from around 1715 the name took the form of whiskie. The modern name - whiskey - was established only in 1736. Only high-quality glass is used in professional whiskey tastings. The so-called popular tulip glasses, the shape of which allows you to retain the aroma of whiskey, which is important during tasting. During the tasting, apart from the smell, the taste on the tongue, the finish and the balance of the whole are also assessed, often on a scale of 100 points. The whiskey served may be slightly diluted with water, which reduces the intensity of the flavor. It is also popular to serve whiskey with ice (on the rocks) or with cola, but the latter can be controversial.
