Signatory Glenlossie 13 years is a single malt Scotch whisky from Speyside. The distillery sits near Elgin in the north east of Scotland. Signatory bottled this cask for its Un-Chillfiltered Collection. The spirit rested for 13 years in a first fill bourbon barrel. It arrives at 46%, with no colouring and no chill filtration. Independent bottlings like this one show the distillery without a house style. John Duff and three partners built Glenlossie in 1876. From the outset the stills carried purifier pipes. A purifier catches heavier alcohols that reflux out along the lyne arm. It sends them back into the still to be distilled again. The result is a light spirit with an oily texture. Long fermentations add the green, grassy note that runs through the new make. Most of it has always gone into blends. The nose opens floral and grassy, with ripe pear behind it. A brighter fresh fruit note arrives next, closer to pineapple. Cereal and vanilla come through from the first fill barrel. On the palate the malty, cereal side leads, still with that floral lift. Spice builds slowly and turns to black pepper. The finish stays grassy and peppery, dry rather than sweet. The 46% strength keeps every one of those notes sharp. Glenlossie is rarely sold as a single malt at all. Diageo has released a 10 year old in its Flora & Fauna range, and independents see few casks. Thirteen years in one first fill bourbon barrel suits a light spirit like this. Older wood would smother it. Signatory Glenlossie 13 years leaves the whisky at natural colour and full texture. That is where this distillery is most interesting.
