Glenlossie – 1975 44 Year Old Old & Rare Heritage (70cl, 43.3%)

This is a single cask Glenlossie from Speyside, distilled in 1975 and matured for 44 years. Hunter Laing bottled it for their Old & Rare Heritage range at 43.3%, in a 70cl bottle. It is a deep gold whisky with a fruity character, tropical and ripe orchard fruit running from the nose into the palate before a hint of nuttiness arrives in the finish. The nose offers banana, peach, orange sherbet and green herbs. The palate is full and spicy, with sweet oak, ripe fruit and herbal notes. The finish is long, fruity and faintly nutty.
