First of all, these two Glenlossies are bot miniatures in green bottles from James MacArthur's. They're both 12 years old and they're both 62.4%. Seems like the same whisky? Oh yes. But the labels difference slightly as one bears a vintage statement of 1977 whilst the other one carries the cask reference "Cask 4992". Are there anyone out who knows for sure wether these are from the same cask or if it's just coincidences?

The color varies a bit on these ones, as this is slightly darkerthan the "cask 1992". It smells extremely strong, peppery, and oaky, needs time, and water if I'm not mistaken, let's see. The taste is It's so fucking strong, excuse my language, but this is just too much. Peppery and oaky, needs definitively watery. With water it gets sweeter, still a bit raw and spirity, like sugar and vodka, crazy style, sugar, spirit and bitter kräuter-likör.
Is it good? Yes! Is it to extreme for most people? Sure: 5

This one is slightly paler than the 1977-version, and just a bit more diluted from what I can tell by somparing the fill level, but on the other hand, it could be stored in a different climate, or the bottle could even have been filled at a slightly lower level. It smells lighter, nutty, peaty and peppery. The taste is just the same as the 1977-version, just a bit more exotic? Replace the pepperiness with some red chili and chorizo.Needs some water. Water brings this one down, way down, to blend-style.
Good, but different from the 1977?: 5
