Glenlossie 1975 BR

Glenlossie, founded in 1876 by John Duff, lies just to the south of Elgin. The distillery was partially rebuilt following a fire in 1929. Nearby, Mannochmore Distillery was built in 1971 to support the high demand.A style of whisky that has grown increasingly elusive over time. The nose opens on candle wax and beeswax polish, lifted by light florals, with a core of vibrant green, stone, and citrus fruits that remain remarkably alive. On the palate, the years are evident: it's dense, oily and assured, with real structural presence. The finish unwinds slowly, fading through candied ginger into gently toasted malt. This is a whisky shaped not by an assertive cask, but by patience and restraint. Its calm, layered complexity reflects long, undisturbed ageing - a reminder that time, when trusted, has a way of rewarding those willing to wait. Berry Bros. & Rudd
