Emma After a trip to the North of Scotland to visit Sutherland’s of Portsoy and Glenglassaugh Distillery, I returned with a packet of Glenglassaugh Torfa whisky smoked salmon. It was my turn for sunday breakfast making, so I thought it was time for waffles and posh ones at that!
Sutherlands of Portsoy have partnered up with nearby distillery, Glenglassaugh, to produce salmon smoked in a traditional kilnhouse over whisky barrel shavings from Glenglassaugh, before being infused with the distilleries only peated expression – Torfa Single Malt. The whisky taste isn’t too strong, enough to notice but not overpower.
