{"product_id":"glenlossie-20-year-old-single-cask","title":"Glenlossie 20 Year Old Single Cask","description":"\u003cp\u003eSince inception, Glenlossie’s character has been defined by a delicacy of flavour. Rarely seen as a single malt, very few whisky connoisseurs have ever had the pleasure of enjoying this fantastic Speysider.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGlenlossie’s unique flavour is primarily influenced by its location and still design. It’s situated by the Laich of Moray – a plain by the sea. This low-lying land has been farmed by generation upon generation, and its proximity to the sea imparts coastal notes along with a touch of smoke on the nose. The long fermentation times add a touch of grassiness, but the big point of difference here is the design of the stills. Carrying the same shape and design since day one, the onion shaped stills feature a purifier between the lyne arm and the condenser, which diverts some of the alcohol vapours back to the pot to be distilled again. This increases the amount of reflux, yielding a light, delicate yet oily textured whisky, characteristics which come through in spades in the Club’s bottle this month.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis has made the Lossie very popular with blenders, and it’s been an important part of many Diageo blends, in particular Haig (better known as Dimple) who’ve used the majority of production since the 1930s. The downside of this is that practically nothing is made available for bottling as single malt. In fact, the only official bottling in recent years was part of the discontinued Flora \u0026amp; Fauna series in the 1990s, where it appeared as a 10-year-old. Other than this, it’s hardly ever seen as a single malt: a massive shame given the few Lossie single malts that do see the light of day are consistently excellent, yet very, very few people ever get to enjoy them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFortunately we’ve found a way to remedy that for you. We’ve teamed up with Scotland’s leading boutique independent bottlers and owners of Edradour distillery, Signatory Vintage who’ve been successful in sourcing a series of outstanding Glenlossie casks distilled back in 1997. This 20 Year Old whisky has been bottled at 46% as a set of single casks, un-chillfiltered and natural colour and it tastes incredible. We’re very proud to usher in the New Year with this unprecedented Glenlossie as our first whisky for 2018, or as Jim Murray puts it, “getting harder and harder to find a dud Lossie these days: glad people are getting a chance to be in on one of the best kept secrets in Scotland”.
