- This 42-year-old Glen Grant from a 1970s Gordon & MacPhail bottling draws from distillate of considerable age, offering a rare glimpse into the distillery's mature expression during a pivotal era of independent bottling. The long maturation has developed concentrated flavors of dried fruit, toffee, leather, and subtle wood spice, balanced by Glen Grant's characteristic orchard fruit notes.
