Glenlossie Cask & Thistle Collection Single Cask 1976 27 Year Old Single Malt
Built by the former Glendronach distillery manager John Duff and Glenlossie was built in 1876. It was built on a slope so the distillery with a 70-foot drop so gravity was used to its advantage as the water flowed down the hill and powered the water wheel. It didn’t have to use steam power! The distillery underwent reconstruction in 1896 and a private railway siding was added.
Located just south of Elgin, Glenlossie is surrounded by distilleries with eight encompassing a radius of just 4 kilometers. On the same site is Mannochmore, to the West is Miltonduff, to the north is Glen Moray and Linkwood, and finally to the south is BenRiach, Longmorn, and Glen Elgin.
Glenlossie uses water from various sources including the Bardon Burn, Gedloch, and Foths Burns. Glenlossie does make its own single malt which is 10 years old, however the majority of whisky made is used in Haig and Dimple blends.
