StyrianSpirit scored this whisky 89 points 
The smell is quite similar to the Orkney-Fassstark forum bottling (ID 132253), brand "Junge Sherrykracher" and similar spicy sherry malt. The smell and the palate of the Glenlossie is very pleasantly intense, here comparable to the Tamdhu Batch Strength 002 (ID 89596) or the Edradour 2008 (ID 83779). In the finish it is short, which also prevents a 90-point rating for me. In any case, a fine, spicy sherry malt in barrel strength.
-
Intense sherry, herbs (marjoram), damp forest floor. Fine freshness; old oak floorboards; Plum. A couple of matchstick heads greet from afar. A fairly typical aroma of younger, well-matured sherry casks.

In the mouth, the malt comes prickly, rich in sherry and plum-sweet. The oak with marjoram and a damp wine cellar take on the seasoning role; the matchstick heads on the palate have almost completely disappeared. Nice intensity, the 56.5% (for those familiar with barrel strength!) Are well integrated and not too dominant.
-
The finish is surprisingly maximum medium in length and maintains the balance between sherry, spice and fruit. But, compared to similar malts, it flew away very quickly.
