Introduction

Glenlossie 2010 represents the artful collaboration between the distinguished Speyside distillery and the renowned Italian independent bottler Wilson & Morgan, whose meticulous barrel selection process has earned them international acclaim among whisky connoisseurs.

Production Method

• Raw materials: Selected Scottish malted barley, processed at the Glenlossie distillery in Speyside, known for producing a lighter, grassy spirit character
• Distillation process: Double distillation in the distinctive Glenlossie copper pot stills with their unique purifier pipes that contribute to a cleaner, more refined spirit
• Maturation: Initial maturation in ex-bourbon casks for depth and vanilla notes, followed by a finishing period in selected sherry casks to impart additional complexity and fruit notes
• Special techniques: Bottled at 46% ABV without chill filtration, preserving the whisky’s natural oils and allowing for a fuller mouthfeel and more complex flavor development

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Initial honey sweetness with orchard fruits, developing into notes of vanilla custard, cinnamon spice, and subtle dried fruits from the sherry influence
• Palate: Rich and well-balanced with layers of butterscotch, baked apples, and toasted oak, complemented by dried figs, raisins and a hint of dark chocolate from the sherry finish
• Finish: Medium to long with warming spices, lingering dried fruit sweetness, and a pleasantly dry oakiness that invites another sip

Recommended Serving

• Serving temperature: Room temperature (16-18°C) to allow the full expression of flavors
• Glass recommendation: Tulip-shaped whisky glass or Glencairn to concentrate the aromas
