Glenlossie 2006/2022 Signatory 15 year old Bourbon Barrel Single Speyside Malt Whisky 58,2%

One more year in cask makes a difference you can taste. This 15-year-old is the more mature sister to Signatory's 14-year-old from the same distillate – both from 2006, both powerful, but each with its own character.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Darker caramel and toasted almonds than its younger sister, with a clear scent of warm oak polish and a hint of dried figs.

Palate

Deep and full, with burnt sugar, dark chocolate and a warm, almost peppery spice. The cask's grip on the spirit is more pronounced after the extra year.

Finish

Long, dry and faintly bitter, with a lingering note of dark caramel and oak.

Frequently asked questions about Glenlossie 2006/2022 Signatory 15 Year Old

What makes this Glenlossie special?

It's a 15-year-old single malt from two bourbon barrels, bottled at cask strength of 58.2% under Signatory's Cask Strength Collection – only 347 bottles exist.

Is this whisky smoky?

No, Glenlossie is unpeated. The dark caramel and chocolate notes come from the long years in bourbon cask, not smoke.

Should I add water?

At 58.2%, a few drops of water are recommended, softening the strength and further drawing out the dark caramel and chocolate.

How does this 15-year-old differ from the 14-year-old release?

Same distillate, but an extra year in cask has given darker caramel, more chocolate and a stronger, drier finish.

Is this whisky worth it?

With only 347 bottles and a straight-from-the-cask bottling, this is a rare chance to taste a mature, powerful Glenlossie.

What glass suits this whisky best?

A nosing glass best concentrates the caramel and chocolate aromas and makes it easier to follow the long, dry finish.
