- Description
- Glenlossie 1971, bottled by Gordon & MacPhail in the 1980s at 40% ABV, shows deep colour indicating maturation in active ex-sherry casks—a classic independent bottler release from Speyside's quieter distillery. The age and sherry influence suggest layers of dried fruit and oak complexity accumulated over decades. For enthusiasts of vintage independent bottlings and traditional Speyside character.
