Scotch Drinkers Only – Glenlossie 10 Year Old
Single Cask | Ex-Bourbon Octave Finish | Cask Strength
A beautifully crafted single cask Glenlossie selected and bottled exclusively for the Scotch Drinkers Only range. Matured for 10 years before receiving an Ex-Bourbon Octave finish, this Speyside single malt was bottled at its natural cask strength of 58.1% ABV. The small octave cask enhances the whisky's interaction with the oak, adding layers of creamy vanilla, vibrant citrus, and warming spice while allowing Glenlossie's elegant, fruit-forward character to shine.

Why We Bottled It
Glenlossie is one of Speyside's hidden gems, producing an elegant spirit that is seldom seen as a standalone single malt. The Ex-Bourbon Octave finish amplifies the whisky's naturally fruity profile while adding extra richness and depth from the fresh American oak. Bottled at full cask strength, this release offers a rewarding balance of sweetness, spice, and complexity that evolves beautifully in the glass.
About Glenlossie Distillery
Glenlossie - The Delicate Heart of Speyside
The Glenlossie Distillery is a Diageo-owned distillery that, while perhaps not as widely known, is highly regarded for its light and fruity spirit, a key component in Diageo's major blends.
Established in 1876 by John Duff, who previously managed Glendronach, Glenlossie is situated near Elgin in Speyside, surrounded by several other distilleries including Glen Moray, Glen Elgin, Longmorn, BenRiach, Linkwood, and Miltonduff. An interesting point is that in the early 1970s, the Mannochmore distillery was constructed on the same grounds as Glenlossie. This expansion followed the addition of two stills to Glenlossie in 1962, bringing its total to six. Currently, Glenlossie and Mannochmore share both warehouse facilities and staff, with the team reportedly splitting their time between the two distilleries' production.
A notable feature contributing to Glenlossie's delicate character is the purifier pipe. This element, part of the original design by John Duff, redirects heavier alcohol back into the still for further distillation and remains in use today.
Although there are no official distillery bottlings from Glenlossie, it is occasionally featured as a single malt in Diageo’s Flora and Fauna series. This makes independent bottlers' releases of Glenlossie spirit particularly noteworthy, as they are quite rare even in the independent market.
