The Adelphi Selection Glenlossie 15 Years Old 2011 – Cask #35430 is a wonderful introduction to a Speyside distillery that rarely gets the spotlight under its own name.
This single malt was distilled at Glenlossie in 2011 and then matured for fifteen years in a single first-fill bourbon barrel. In 2026, Adelphi selected the cask for its renowned Selection series. The whisky was bottled at a robust 59.7% cask strength, with only 223 bottles becoming available.
The first-fill bourbon cask pairs particularly well with the elegant character of Glenlossie. Fresh orchard fruit, citrus, and sweet malt are surrounded by vanilla, honey, and a hint of coconut, while the cask strength provides extra body and spicy warmth. With a few drops of water, the fruit is given even more room to develop, and the creamy side of the whisky comes forward beautifully.
A pure single cask Speyside where fruitiness and powerful bourbon cask maturation are beautifully balanced. Typically an Adelphi bottling for the enthusiast who enjoys discovering distilleries that usually remain largely out of sight of the single malt drinker.
