Description
Other than Diageo’s Flora and Fauna release and a manager’s dram, the Glenlossie spirit is mainly used in blends such as Haig and Dimple making this Cadenhead’s release a tidy expression as Indies are the only real way to sample the Glenlossie malt in all its glory. Aged for 12 years in bourbon casks, Cadenhead’s have delivered a youthful dram with many layers, a true representation of the Glenlossie style.

About Glenlossie distillery
Glenlossie distillery is a single malt whisky distillery in Elgin, Morayshire in Scotland that was founded in 1876, by John Duff. The water used in Glenlossie is drawn from the local Bardon Burn and the production capacity of the distillery stands at 1.1 million litres. The distillery is powered by a full lauter mash tun which has a capacity of over 8 tonnes. Glenlossie uses three wash stills and two spirit stills and the distillery has ten dunnage warehouses onsite which can hold over 200,000 casks.

Interesting Fact
Glenlossie sources its maltings from an industrial site: Burghead Maltings, located in Elgin. Who use a very gently peat for malting resulting in a viscous whisky brimming in very delicate smoke.
