The Glenlossie 1997, bottled by Gordon & MacPhail as part of their prestigious Connoisseurs Choice range, is a remarkable 24-year-old single malt whisky hailing from the renowned Speyside region of Scotland. This exceptional whisky was distilled in 1997 and meticulously matured in a single first-fill sherry butt, which imparts a rich bouquet of flavors including fruitcake, sautéed cherries, and roasted oak. The whisky is bottled at cask strength, boasting an impressive ABV of 57.3%, and it remains free from chill filtration and artificial coloring, ensuring its pure, unadulterated character. This limited edition release is a true gem, presenting aromas of sweet fruitcake, sultanas, and warm spices, complemented by hints of citrus and eucalyptus.

The finish is long-lasting, spicy, and fruity with a slightly bitter end, leaving a memorable impression.
