- Description
- Glen Grant's 20-year maturation (1997–2018) was enhanced by a rum cask finish, layering tropical notes and spiced oak over the distillery's characteristic apricot and heather honey. Bottled at natural strength without chill-filtration by Ian Macleod, its 262-bottle yield makes it a rare find.
