The Lost Distillery Company create blended malts which are supposed to represent how whiskies from long-closed distilleries might have tasted, using research to find out as much about them as possible. Awesome. This particular expression is based on information regarding the Lossit distillery, which resided on the Isle of Islay from 1817 to 1867.
Damp oak, earthy peat and a hearty helping of milk chocolate.
Cigar box, buttered crumpets, sea salt light hints of basil.
Remains packed with vanilla and peat.

Nose: Understated peated lemons very clear. Palate: The palate is stale peat, dry biscuit. After: Nothing to talk about.
Found as cask selection at my local Michigan store...nose is awesome and flavor does not disappoint. Just enough smoke to label Islay. Price point even in States is spot on. Amazing how fruit maintains start to finish.
This is what used to be called a "Vatted Malt", now a "Blended Malt", meaning it's blended from all single malts - no grain need apply. As with blended malts they are usually well balanced. In this case it's a wonderful blend of Islay malts with a nice level of smoke, sweet, salt, vanilla and chocolate and a butter that coats the mouth. This malt is worth the price.
A regular visitor to Islay I find Lossit really enjoyable, on the back of trying it I tried the range of their miniatures. very interesting indeed. Lossit is a great find, smells great, sweet flavours, mouthwatering, rich and smooth.
Was given a bottle of Lossit by a fellow Islay malt lover and this is a most unique whisky. There is smoke on the nose and peat on the palate but it is remarkably smooth with a lovely long finish. Perfect with a nice strong cheese
