- Description
- Gordon & MacPhail's 1936 Glen Grant, bottled in the 1980s, represents one of the rarest expressions of this Speyside distillery—a spirit nearly 50 years old at release. The extreme age and intervening decades of maturation create a whisky of considerable historical significance and delicate, concentrated character that only pre-war distillate can achieve. This is a bottle for serious collectors and those wishing to taste Scottish whisky from its most formative era, handled with reverence rather than casual enjoyment.
