Now owned by Diageo, Glenlossie primarily contributes to blended whiskies, including the renowned Johnnie Walker range. However, its single malt releases, often found in independent bottlings or as part of the Flora & Fauna series, showcase its elegant and nuanced character. The distillery shares a site with Mannochmore, another Diageo-owned distillery, and benefits from a large dunnage and racked warehouse complex for cask maturation. This Glenlossie new make cask, filled in March 2025 at 63.5% ABV, captures the distillery’s light, fruity, and slightly oily style. Aged in a first-fill Bourbon barrel, expect a maturation marked by notes of vanilla, honey, and coconut, complementing Glenlossie’s grassy and floral character. Over time, the Bourbon cask will contribute to the whisky’s texture, adding creamy toffee, toasted oak, and citrus brightness. This 200-litre first fill Bouborn barrel was filled in March 2025. Included in the price is three years professional storage and insurance at Braeside Bond.

Blender's Delight
Located in the Speyside town of Elgin near the Moray Firth, Glenlossie was founded by entrepreneur John Duff (also the founder of what would go on to become Benriach distillery) in 1876. This large-scale distillery is now yoked to the neighbouring Mannochmore distillery, with which it shares the water source of Bardon Burn.
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.
