Glenlossie Berry Bros & Rudd The Auld And The Bold Single Cask #5966 Whisky 50 Year Old · 1975 Vintage

Glenlossie, founded in 1876 by John Duff, lies just to the south of Elgin. The distillery was partially rebuilt following a fire in 1929. Nearby, Mannochmore Distillery was built in 1971 to support with high demand.

A style of whisky that has grown increasingly elusive over time. The nose opens on candle wax and beeswax polish, lifted by light florals, with a core of vibrant green, stone, and citrus fruits that remain remarkably alive. On the palate, the years are evident: it's dense, oily and assured, with real structural presence. The finish unwinds slowly, fading through candied ginger into gently toasted malt. This is a whisky shaped not by an assertive cask, but by patience and restraint. Its calm, layered complexity reflects long, undisturbed ageing - a reminder that time, when trusted, has a way of rewarding those willing to wait.
