- Description
- This 25-year-old from Glen Grant's exclusive Directors' Reserve—whisky once reserved for the distillery's leadership—represents a pinnacle of the Speyside house's craft. Extended maturation has developed complex layers of dried fruit, oak spice, and mellow vanilla, with a viscous, warming texture that speaks to decades in wood. The rectangular bottle and 1980s bottling date mark it as a piece of whisky history. A collector's dram for those seeking mature Speyside elegance and provenance.
