Glenlossie 18 Year Old 2007/2025 First Fill Bourbon Barrel #773 - The Single Malts of Scotland (70cl, 55%)

This is an 18-year-old Glenlossie single malt from Speyside, a single cask bottling in the Single Malts of Scotland series from Elixir Distillers. It was distilled on 20 February 2007 and bottled on 25 April 2025 from first fill bourbon barrel 773, at 55% in a 70cl bottle. The barrel gave 248 bottles, and the whisky is non-chill-filtered with natural colour. Glenlossie's oily texture and grassy distillate character stand behind this fruit-led cask. Lemon zest, vanilla cream and crisp green apple lead the nose, with a touch of honeycomb and malt. The palate is full and creamy, with sweet vanilla, juicy pear and ripe stone fruit alongside oak spice and a hint of white pepper. The finish is medium, soft and slightly dry.
