Glenlossie 15: A New Single Cask, One of Only 113

A new single cask is joining our Sons of Scotland range this autumn, hand-picked from Speyside and bottled by our team here beneath Stirling Castle. It is natural strength at 50%, it is numbered, and it exists in tiny numbers. Only 113 bottles were filled, and when the cask is empty this whisky is finished for good.

Here is what we chose, and why we are excited about it.

Glenlossie 15: bright, sweet and summery

A 15 year old Speyside single malt from a single new wood hogshead, bottled at 50%. This is a lighter, livelier style of whisky, and it is rare: only 113 bottles exist, each individually numbered 1 of 113.

It opens on fresh cut straw with a hint of green apple. The palate turns sweet, all sherbet and lemon drop sweets, before a bright citrus burst carries the finish. If you like your whisky lively and refreshing, this is the one.

  • Nose: fresh cut straw, a hint of green apples
  • Palate: sherbet and lemon drop sweets
  • Finish: a burst of citrus in the mouth

15 years old. Speyside single malt. New wood hogshead. 50%. One of only 113 bottles.

What a single cask really means

An independent bottler does not distil the whisky. We select an outstanding individual cask from another Scottish distillery, then bottle it under our own name. Because this release comes from one cask and one cask only, there is no blending, no topping up and no second run. What you taste is exactly what that cask gave, at natural strength, and when it is gone there is no more. That is why every bottle is numbered.

How to get one

These are the kind of bottles that sell out quietly. The best way to secure one is to join our mailing list, using the sign up box at the foot of any page, where subscribers get first access before each release opens to everyone. You can also browse our whisky shop to see what is available right now. If Glenlossie has already sold out, use the notify me option on its page and we will email you if any bottles become available.

Frequently asked questions

Is Glenlossie 15 distilled at Stirling Distillery?

No. It is distilled in Speyside and was hand-selected and bottled by our team in Stirling as part of our Sons of Scotland independent bottling range. Our own single malt is maturing separately, with a first release projected for 2027.

How many bottles are there?

Glenlossie 15 is limited to 113 numbered bottles. It is a single-cask release, so once the cask is emptied this whisky is finished.

What strength is it?

It is bottled at 50%.

What does it taste like?

Bright, sweet and summery. Fresh cut straw and green apple on the nose, sherbet and lemon drops on the palate, and a citrus burst on the finish. Miniatures are available if you would like to try it before committing to a full bottle.

Where can I buy it?

From our whisky shop, while stocks last. Join the mailing list, via the sign up box at the foot of any page, for first access.
