Well this Glenlossie is indeed quite young. But as the nose doesn’t do much, the taste is quite good. Mainly honey caramel sweetness and fruits. The alcohol is nicely integrated taste wise. Finish is nice as well. Too bad the nose can’t keep up. Decent modern young sherried whisky.

I tasted it during a tasting and was very enthusiastic ... was even more enthusiastic when I could get hold of a bottle of it ... and then came the disillusionment ... not soooo delicious as experienced ... how can that be. First of all, he needs air to breathe ... and secondly (it sounds a bit crazy) he needs a whisky that I taste the smoky ... then this one is a lot more delicious (I recommend the Bowmore 18 in the standard bottling). Try it!
Addition after a few weeks standing 3/4 full bottle: The really needs oxidation and is now getting better if the bottle is not so full. Today keyed again and much better than before ... then I'll probably keep my spare bottle ... (Now 89 instead of 84 points!)

Nose

Sour red fruits, raisins, dates, leather and pepper in the background, sour apple, light honey fragrance, vanilla, toffee and raspberries (If Bowmore before then felt: great barrel aroma, still significantly sweeter and stronger) ...

Taste

Pepper, alcohol pushes, honey sweetness and sour apricot, oak .... Addition: now after prolonged oxidation in bottle (one month later) significantly more dark fruits, Scherrysuße, much yummy

Finish

Honey, oak, dryness in the mouth, espresso (slight pleasant bitterness in the mouth), overall a short finish ... Addition: now after a long period of oxidation much longer finish with additional Scherrynoten and dark fruits, really yummy

Tenth and last tasty whisky at the Radebeul festival. My first encounter with Glenlossie. Good whisky, like everything I tasted from the bottle of Anam to h-Alba.

Nose

Sweet smell, something between the sherry and the sweet peat (which is only slightly present here), sweet guminess, earthyness, alumness. (85 b)

Taste

Very sweet whisky, to my surprise, surprisingly. Strong influence of fresh and sweet sherry. In the end, it smacks of alcohol and it is even more sweet. (88 b)

This is not a bad whisky, but I'm dominated by the youthful notes, despite the sherry barrel.

Nose

Smells very frisky and somehow young, the sherry is there, but rather in a youthful fresh, and slightly acidic style. A few raisins, some vanilla, but also a bit too young, new make similar fruit notes.

Taste

Powerful, pepper, a little pear, slightly sourish fruit notes, some tart oak, licorice

Finish

dry, a lot of tobacco and here are also beautiful sherry and fruit notes to light.
