Glenlossie 33 Year Old 1984 Refill Sherry Butt Cask 2533 Signatory Vintage 30th Anniversary

Glenlossie 33 Year Old 1984 is a single cask Speyside single malt Scotch whisky bottled by Signatory Vintage as part of the range released to mark the company's 30th anniversary. Distilled on 1 October 1984, it matured for 33 years in a single refill sherry butt, cask 2533, before being bottled on 27 July 2018, giving 530 bottles. It is bottled at 56.7% ABV in a 700ml bottle. Glenlossie is rarely bottled as a single malt, and this is an old-school sherried style, with sticky toffee pudding, treacle, dried and tropical fruits, soft leather and tobacco, building into cinnamon, ginger and liquorice spice before a lighter, elegant finish.

Nose: Old-style sherry, sticky toffee pudding and treacle, demerara sugar, a hint of old cognac, candied orange and dried tropical fruit.

Palate: Rich, round and fruity, with toffee pudding and vanilla cream, orange peel, dried apple, mango and papaya, then cinnamon, fresh ginger and liquorice.

Finish: Lighter than the palate, with vanilla, dried fruit and lingering spice.

Serve: Neat, with a drop of water if you wish.
