Tasting film

Nose

Initial aromas of beeswax polish and confection banana. Subtle extinguished bonfire notes evolve into mixed spice – ginger and nutmeg. Bitter dark chocolate complements treacle toffee.

Taste

Soft and mouth-warming; rich dark chocolate with velvety caramel. Flavours of espresso coffee linger with comforting malted chocolate.

Finish

Satisfying dark chocolate mocha with a slightly drying mouth - feel. Hints of molasses remain with flashes of mature oak.

Glenlossie

Glenlossie distillery is a fascinating operation, as it shares a site, and certain aspects of production, with Mannochmore. located close to Elgin, it was established in 1876 by a local publican, John Duff, who had previously been manager at Glendronach Distillery.

It was expanded 20 years later and in 1962 extended further with the addition of a further two stills. Although the distillery buildings have retained a traditional feel, the Glenlossie site has been extensively developed.

As well as cask warehousing that can hold 38.5 million litres of alcohol it also houses a dark grains plant. Over 100 years later, in 1971, its sister distillery Mannochmore was built on the very same site.
