The distillery
Glenlossie
Elgin, Speyside, Scotland
Glenlossie was founded in 1876 near Elgin by John Duff, a notable figure in the development of several Scottish distilleries. In the late 19th century, it became part of the Distillers Company Limited, helping secure its role in the growing Scotch whisky industry. Glenlossie was also known for early innovation, including the introduction of purifiers on its stills to refine the spirit’s character. Over time, it became primarily a blending distillery, supplying malt whisky for well-known blends rather than focusing on official single malt releases. Despite its low profile, it remains an important part of Speyside’s whisky heritage.
