Glenlossie was founded in 1876 at Thomshill, near Elgin in Speyside. Much of its production has traditionally supplied blended Scotch, including the Haig range. Independent bottlers also release individual casks as single malt. Samaroli, the Italian bottling house operating since 1968, has released several Glenlossie over the years.
