- Description
- This 1966 Glen Grant aged for 45 years represents Gordon & MacPhail's mastery of selecting casks that preserve spirit character rather than overwhelm it with oak. The distillery's natural complexity shines through decades of maturation, delivering layers of fruit, spice, and subtle oak influence without the sawdust-like drying that can plague over-aged spirits. At 40% ABV, it remains accessible and balanced. A showcase of why Glen Grant ranks among Speyside's most age-worthy expressions.
