SMWS 46.98 Glenlossie 9 2010 "Petrichor vindaloo"

Another one where the petrichor in the name got me, but as a peat fan who really liked a Dalmore I’m hoping this unpeated malt has some similar qualities to that one.

Glenlossie 9, 2010 Vintage, Scotch Malt Whisky Society 46.98, Speyside Single Malt, 57.1% ABV

Minutia: Distilled on December 14, 2010 and matured in a 1st-fill ex-bourbon barrel for 9 years yielding 233 bottles. This is part of the Young & Spritely flavor profile named “Petrichor vindaloo”. Enjoyed neat in a glencairn.

Color: Yellow gold; 0.5.

Nose: Apple, malt, floral something. Custard.

Taste: Malt, pepper. Putty. Cereals.

Finish: More malt. Grass/hay. Apple. Medium.

A nice unpeated dram. It doesn’t quite have what I loved about that Dalmore, but it’s in that vein.

Score: 75

Musical Evocation: Draconian – “Death, Come Near Me”
