The Glenlossie Distillery was formed in 1876 and for years was better known as Glenlossie-Glenlivet Distillery Co. It produces approximately 2.7 million litres of malt whisky annually which is mainly used for blends such as Haig Dimple and Haig Gold Label. The distillery is located south of Elgin in the Speyside region which has an abundance of distilleries including BenRiach, Glenfarclas and Macallan. The spirit stills at the distillery use a ‘purifier’ between the lyne arms and the condensers. This purifier acts as a mini-condenser, which returns some of the alcohol vapours back to the pot to be re-distilled. The action of ‘purifiers’ increases the amount of reflux within the stills, which results in a lighter, more delicate whisky. The distillery is owned by Diageo and shares its warehouses with Mannochmore distillery which is located right next door.
