Glenlossie
Glenlossie is the ghost of Speyside — a fully operational distillery producing millions of litres annually, yet almost entirely invisible to consumers. Virtually all production feeds into Diageo's blending programme, and official single malt releases are limited to the occasional Flora & Fauna bottling. The spirit itself is grassy, light, and citric — a perfectly good Speyside malt that the industry decided was better as an ingredient than a product. Independent bottlers are the main route to tasting it.

Other speyside distilleries
Glenfiddich
The world’s best-selling single malt, Glenfiddich is where most people’s Scotch journey begins. Founded by William Grant and still family-owned, it remains one of the few distilleries to bottle its own spirit on-site.
The Macallan
The most valuable single malt brand in the world. Famous for sherry-cask maturation and, increasingly, for price inflation. The architecturally-stunning visitor centre is worth a visit on its own merits.
The Glenlivet
The first legal distillery in the parish under the 1823 Excise Act, and one of the largest single malt brands in the world. Glenlivet sits at the centre of Speyside both geographically and historically.
