This single cask bottling of an 18-year-old Glenlossie was produced by independent bottler Jack Wiebers Whisky World in the Steamship Line Second Edition series. The whisky was distilled in 1997, matured in a hogshead and was bottled at cask strength in 2015.
Glenlossie is a distillery near Elgin, Scotland, which was founded in 1876 by John Duff. It had to be rebuilt in 1929 after a fire and was expanded by 50% in 1962.
The Speyside lies in the north-east of the Highlands and is considered the centre of Scotland's whisky production. Around the towns of Elgin, Rothes, Keith and Dufftown there are more distilleries than anywhere else in Scotland, including big names such as Glenfarclas, Glenlivet, Macallan and many more.
Elegance and complexity are often cited as characteristic features of Speyside malts, but the variety of whiskies produced here is too great to speak of a single style.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
