It's the first batch of Glenlossie single malt Scotch whisky bottled by That Boutique-y Whisky Company! The label features a diagram of the onion-shaped stills that produce Glenlossie's whisky, but once again the Boutique-y bunch have taken the name a little too literally (just like with the Coffey still). They've even included a spring-onion-lyne-arm and a garlic-bulb-condenser!
Batch 1 is a release of 118 bottles.
‘That Boutique-y Whisky Company’ bottles single malts, single grains, bourbons, blended malts and blends from a variety of renowned distilleries. These whiskies are adorned with cultish graphic novel-style labels.
Rice pudding with a generous dollop of blackcurrant jam. Green bananas coated in sugary chocolate. An intriguing little hint of star anise and crushed red pepper gives it a slightly exotic feel.
Plenty of fruity esters here, with continuing notes of green banana, now with a thick glaze of caramel and honey. Yellow plum, maple syrup and honey cereals.
There's more maple syrup and baking spices to be had on the long finish.
Rather expressive and complex, this one.
I'd expected this to be much more 'typical' speyside, but it's complex as anything. I get the Rice pudding nose that the MoM guys also found, but also find porridge, and incense. Lovely.
