The wonderfully fresh, honeyed and lemony palette of flavours and aromas revealed by this Glenlossie, immediately take us to the heart of Speyside. With it come absolutely delicious notes of honey and an originality illustrated by the presence of unusual tastes and fragrances. The balsamic and peppery vegetal notes that gain the upper hand on the finish are the perfect example.

Tasting notes:
Nose: Rich, heady. On the first nose, beautiful notes of straw, green
almond and candied lemon appear alongside honey (acacia) and
fruit (pear, apple, pineapple) aromas. In a climax, green barley,
chlorophyll and green liquorice refresh the air. With time, a superb
note of vetiver floats above the aroma palette.
Palate: Lively, sharp. Wavering between freshly cut grass and almond
milk, the attack follows on perfectly from the first nose. On the
mid-palate, aromatic plants (sage, verbena, camomile) irreversibly
intensify the flavour palette’s vegetal character. At the end of the
palate, rocket leaves dressed with balsamic vinegar take hold of the
entire palate.
