Two Glenlossie
I’ve been doing lots of rather long and silly tastings recently on these pages. Let’s try to redress the balance with a humble pair of what should, theoretically, be perfectly pleasing Glenlossies. 

 

Glenlossie 26 yo 1992/2019 (50.5%, Filmnik No5 ‘Scent Of A Woman’, cask #3502, hogshead, 263 bottles)

Glenlossie 26 yo 1992/2019 (50.5%, Filmnik No5 ‘Scent Of A Woman’, cask #3502, hogshead, 263 bottles)
‘Scent Of A Woman’ relates to the film, not a tasting note. Colour: straw. Nose: slightly dusty to begin then hints of forest floor, white mushrooms, dill and some rather yeasty sourdough characteristics. Nice but perhaps a little simple and plain. Some very naked cereals lie underneath. With water: gets greener, grassier and gives up notes of chlorophyl, Barbour jacket and dried oregano. Mouth: more sourdough, white pepper, some lemon juice and a tad prickly on delivery. Touches of milky tea and a slightly hint of cardboard as well. Lots of damp grains, moss and plain cereals too. With water: slightly sooty, some dried herbs, wet leaves, more peppery notes, green tea. Nice, honest malt whisky. Finish: a tad short and crisp with some appetising dryness. Comments: Straightforward and easy, if a tad simple. I preferred it with a water. 
SGP: 441 - 81 points.

 

 

Glenlossie-Glenlivet 24 yo 1993/2018 (53.6%, Cadenhead Single Cask, bourbon hogshead, 240 bottles) 
Colour: light gold. Nose: a richer and pleasingly fat style. Lots of juicy clean malt, gingernut biscuits, cut grass, olive oil, yellow flowers and freshly baked pastries. Perhaps some have a few dollops of custard lurking within. Also some nice easy orchard fruits, some apricot, soda bread and calvados. With water: gets increasingly lemony - limoncello and rubbed lemon peel - and introduces notes of hawthorne, brown bread and some cashew nuts. Mouth: fresh butter with chopped parsley, sunflower oil, pumpkin seeds, lemon and poppy seed cake, matcha and cornflour. Some sweet gristy notes as well. With water: easy, straight, fruity, nicely cereal-forward malt whisky. No one will write it a love poem but no one would chuck it out of bed either. Finish: medium, again on cereals, lemon peel, tea and digestive biscuits. Comments: Another quaffable 93 Glenlossie by Cadenhead, although I preferred the 2017 bottling quite a bit more (WF 89). 
SGP: 551 - 84 points.
