In 2017, Chivas Brothers made a strategic entry into the single malt category with official bottlings from three of its key component distilleries: Glenburgie, Miltonduff, and Glenlossie. This marked a pivotal moment for the Scotch whisky giant, bringing its previously 'hidden' distilleries into the spotlight as standalone single malt brands. While Chivas Regal ranks as the world's second-largest Scotch whisky blend, its component distilleries had remained largely behind the curtain—until now. This stands in contrast to Diageo's approach with Johnnie Walker, where flagship distilleries like Cardhu, Clynelish, and Cragganmore have marketed their own single malts for decades. The release from these three Chivas distilleries represents both a response to growing consumer demand for transparency and a strategic positioning in an increasingly competitive single malt market. Each distillery brings a distinct profile to the Chivas blends: Miltonduff provides the warm, muscular foundation; Glenburgie contributes a fruity, soulful character; and Glenlossie delivers precision and consistency through expert cask management. Glenlossie Distillery, located in Speyside, operates with a 12.2-ton stainless steel full lauter mash tun, six Oregon pine washbacks, and three spirit stills. The facility runs 18 mashes per week with an annual production capacity of 4 million liters of pure alcohol. While much of the process is automated, the distillery maintains traditional production methods to train new generations of whisky makers. Historically, Glenlossie's output has been the backbone of major blends including Buchanan's Black & White, Teacher's, and Chivas Regal itself. The 2017 release of Glenlossie 15 Year Old Single Malt marked the distillery's debut in Chivas Brothers' single malt portfolio, complemented by the distillery-exclusive 10 and 12 Year Old expressions available through the Distillery Reserve Collection at visitor centers.

honestly this ones bonkers, proper pleasant change 😂 first sniff’s practically pure mandarin juice, so fresh and zingy. mandarin reigns supreme obviously, you get that vineyard peach sweetness too, little dash of honey like it’s drizzled right in. even got that soft nougat, cassata sort of vibe? reminds me of a white beer mixed with a fruity IPA, all on citrus with that little Corsican twist, even a faint straw note at the end. not outrageously complex but so drinkable, proper smitten with it ngl

Hada dram tonight that felt more direct, with a whiff of straw and a touch of pineapple sweetness. The pallete showed clearer wood influence, a bit of peppery kick and a richer, waxier feel – almost like a waxed canvas impression with a hint of face cream. Finished off with a lingering note of mint tea and crushed parsley, nice and medium bodied. 🍃

Blimey, this one's a right treat 🍺! It's like sippin' on a pint of fruity beer, but with a lovely touch of honey, ya know? All on citrus, it's like a ray of sunshine in a glass ☀️. I'm gettin' a dash of honey, and it's makin' me think of a pleasant change from the usual stuff. Not outrageously complex, but who needs that when it's this refreshing? It's like drinkin' practically pure mandarin juice, but with a bit of depth, like a white beer with a twist 🍊. And then there's this cassata vibe goin' on, like a sweet Italian cake 🎂. Lovely, innit? 🍺💛

Gota nice rounder feel to it, like straw and muesli full of dried fruits, with a hint of face cream and crushed parsley. There's a sweeter, bit sweeter pineapple note, waxy notes that are a bit less dominant now, plus clearer wood influence and a peppery kick. Juniper and flowers in vase water pop up, giving it a more direct, richer character. Feels like a waxed canvas impression but smoother, almost mint tea vibes. 🍃

This dram hits you with a burst of mandarin right off the bat – proper zesty, like peeling one fresh from the tree. The honey comes through smooth, not cloying, and there’s this subtle fruity beer vibe, almost white beer-like in its refreshment. Mandarin really does reign supreme here, with candied fruits dancing around the edges and a whisper of nougat. It’s a pleasant change from the usual heavy hitters, nothing outrageously complex, just clean and long-lasting. Reminds me of sipping something Corsican – sun-drenched and smitten-making. 🍻
