Glenlossie

Glenlossie was named as one of just 12 'top class' malts by blenders in 1974 and historically has been seen as something of a workhorse, contributing a large share of its output to leading Scotch blends.

Thanks to the use of purifiers in Glenlossie’s stills, the distillery’s new make is of a markedly delicate character, with a subtle grassiness also indicative of its Speyside location. Less than 1% of its output is bottled as single malt, the only official bottling available since the 1990s being the 10-year-old Flora & Fauna. In addition, a small number of independent bottlings are in circulation and worth seeking out.
