- Description
- Glenlossie's 2008 vintage spent 14 years maturing—initially in bourbon hogsheads before a four-year finishing in French oak barriques that previously held Sauternes wine. This Speyside single malt from Murray McDavid's Benchmark collection balances bourbon's vanilla backbone with the wine's honeyed complexity.
