In a captivating move for Scotch enthusiasts and connoisseurs alike, The Lost Distillery Company has recently introduced two limited edition expressions to its distinguished portfolio – the Lossit 27 Year Old and the Towiemore 25 Year Old. These exclusive releases are meticulously crafted to embody the rich historical essence of bygone distilleries, promising an unparalleled journey through time and flavor.
The Lost Distillery Company has built a reputation for creating exceptional blended Scotch whiskies that pay homage to the flavors of distilleries long lost to the annals of time. With a commitment to preserving Scotland's whisky heritage, the company employs a unique approach that involves historical research, a deep understanding of traditional whisky production, and an unwavering dedication to authenticity.
The Lossit 27 Year Old, a true gem in this limited release, is a celebration of Islay's historic Lossit distillery, which flourished from 1817 to 1867. Limited to a mere 210 bottles worldwide, this exquisite expression is bottled at a robust 47.3% ABV. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the Lossit unfolds a symphony of flavors, from the pronounced notes of oak and smoke to the luxurious interplay of leather and chocolate. The whisky culminates in a tropical twist that lingers on the palate, providing an unforgettable tasting experience.
On the other side of this limited-edition spectrum is the Towiemore 25 Year Old, paying homage to the Speyside distillery that thrived from 1898 to 1931. Restricted to just 330 bottles globally, this expression boasts a formidable 52.1% ABV. The Towiemore is an eloquent composition of sweet fruits, the decadence of Madeira cake, the sophistication of Sherry, and the nutty allure of roasted almonds. Each sip transports the drinker to a bygone era, capturing the essence of a distillery long lost to time.
Scott Watson, the visionary founder, and CEO of The Lost Distillery Company, expressed his excitement for these exceptional releases. He emphasized how the Lossit 27 Year Old and Towiemore 25 Year Old encapsulate living history, offering enthusiasts a rare opportunity to connect with Scotland's whisky heritage. Watson underscored the company's commitment to regenerating Ayrshire's whisky legacy, with operations based at Dumfries House.
Proudly exported to 50 markets globally, The Lost Distillery Company has firmly established itself as a guardian of Scotland's whisky traditions. The release of these limited-edition drams further solidifies the brand's dedication to innovation, heritage, and the fine artistry of Scotch whisky production.
