Diageo Flora & Fauna Glenlossie 10 year old 43%
Refill Sherry(?)/ Tasted: June 2012
The nose opens with some gristy barley, white fruit and some rather pleasant, brittle honey, but then the sherry oak arrives, dampening and adding a touch of coffee. With time some grassy notes do appear and the aromas become slightly oily.
Soft and toffee’d on the palate with a touch of crisp, gristy barley but just like the nose the earthy refill sherry curtails any further distillery character development. Relatively straightforward and although the sherry character is quite light it blankets. Good length with a light molasses/ treacle sweetness on the finish.
