In the heart of Speyside, Glenlossie is a virtually unknown distillery. The official bottlings can be counted on one hand. Their main business is contributing to different blends, marketed by the owner, Diageo. However, there are several independent bottles. Like this single barrel selected by Sansibar, a German bottler. It was created for the Spirits Shop Selection series, a distillery shop in Taiwan.
