About this SPIRIT
Glenlossie Distillery, Speyside
The Glenlossie distillery was founded in 1876 by John Duff, the then manager of Glendronach, aided by two of his friends, Alexander Grigor Allen and H.M.S. MacKay. John Duff remained owner of the distillery up to 1896, when Alexander Grigor Allen died. When John Duff left the distillery, H.M.S MacKay renamed it in Glenlossie-Glenlivet.
In 1919 the distillery was acquired by the Distillers Company (now the Diageo group). It was rebuilt in 1929, following a fire destruction and in 1971 a new distillery was added to the original buildings, called Mannochmore.
Its single malt is rarely bottled (only 0,5% of the production is marketed as single malt) and it can be purchased at independent bottlers such as Berry Bros & Rudd.

Description
Glenlossie, founded in 1876 by John Duff, lies just to the south of Elgin. The distillery was partially rebuilt following a fire in 1929 and was later expanded to 6 stills from 4. Mannochmore distillery was erected nearby in 1971 to act as a backup during times of high demand. The nose gives an impression of dusty jute sacks in a spice warehouse. There is a fruity honeyed dimension. The palate is playful with a creamy texture as the fruit and some walnut notes intermingle. Spice seems to have the last say and the finish has a gentle lingering quality.
