Stop number 81 on the SDT is Glenlossie. Another relatively unknown Speyside distillery. This 19 year old single malt comes to us from the independent bottlers at Alexander Murray. Distilled in 1997 and bottled at cask strength of 53.3% ABV and is non chill filtered and natural color of golden straw. The nose is strong and sweet. Honey, honeysuckle and vanilla. Clear ex bourbon notes. Light leather and tobacco with some oaky sawdust. Perfumed with a vague fruitiness and vegetal. A bit of candle wax and a hint of cherries. Water brings out white grapes, peaches and oranges. It sounds like I was able to pick out these flavors like all of the others I have reviewed, but this was quite difficult to work out. The palate has some heat, but more than manageable. Sweet, but a bit odd. Light oak, apricots, nectarines and mango. A slight bitterness. If the nose was tough, the palate was impossible to figure out. A medium to full bodied mouthfeel that was very oily and mouthwatering. The saving grace of this dram. A medium length finish. Fruity, waxy and a touch bitter. I have to say this dram was like a pistachio that I just couldn’t pry open. I know there is deliciousness inside but damned if I know how to get it out. Water helped a little bit not enough. I can say this, at $120 it’s not worth the price. Not a bad whisky, but not that great either. I’ll give it a 3.25 and concede that it got the better of me. Thanks to @Telex for the sample. Cheers
