Glenlossie 26 Year Old That Boutique-y Whisky Company Batch #9 50cl

Glenlossie became part of DCL (now Diageo) in 1919, who made it part of their Haig stable in the 1930s. The distillery has always been hugely important to the Diageo blends, and excepting the staff-only Manager’s Dram, the Flora & Fauna is the only distillery bottling, and one of the few from the series still in production. Independent bottlings are more common, but are still decidedly rare.

Launched in 2012, That Boutique-y Whisky Company is an independent bottler and subsidiary of the Atom Group in Kent, England. Their releases are notable for their use of comic book style graphic labels, often with irreverent industry jokes concealed within them. Their catalogue is hugely expansive, covering whiskies from all over the world, and they are now joined by sister companies who bottle Gin and Rum.

Batch #9 resulted in 489 bottles.

Here we have That Boutique-y Whisky Company’s first bottling of Nc’nean single malt. The distillery is a young one, founded in 2017 by Annabel Thomas as the first fully-organic Scottish distillery that’s powered entirely through renewables.
