- Description
- Glenlossie from Speyside, distilled in November 1997 and matured in hogshead casks for 20 years before being bottled by Ian Macleod's Chieftain's range at 52.1% ABV in April 2018. Glenlossie's floral, slightly oily character develops with extended maturation, becoming more layered and nuanced than younger expressions. The cask-strength bottling preserves the malt's full range of flavor development across two decades. This expression appeals to those who value the transformation whisky undergoes during long maturation.
