Had Islay’s Lossit Distillery not closed in 1867, this is Lost Distillery’s interpretation of what the whisky might taste like today, part of a series. This golden Scotch has a peaty aroma, with a honeyed undercurrent. Notably smooth and silky on the palate, a medicinal, iodine note leads on the palate, followed by bold peat smoke and hints of BBQ-like mesquite. A faint citrus note plays on the smoky, peppery fade. A splash of water helps temper the lip–numbing alcohol heat.
The Lost Distillery 'Lossit' Blended Malt Scotch Whisky originates from the Isle of Islay, a region renowned for its rich whisky heritage. The distillery, which was operational in the early 19th century, has been revived in spirit through this blend. Crafted to honor the original Lossit distillery, this whisky embodies the historical essence and distinctive character of Islay malts.
Tasting notes reveal a complex profile with a harmonious blend of peat smoke, dried fruits, and subtle spice. On the palate, it offers layers of honey, malt, and a touch of maritime brine, leading to a smooth, lingering finish. The ingredients include carefully selected malt whiskies from various Islay distilleries, ensuring a balanced and authentic flavor.
The Lossit Blended Malt Scotch Whisky is best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to open up its intricate flavors. Its depth and complexity also make it an excellent choice for a refined whisky cocktail, allowing its historical character to shine through in each sip.
