Description
Glen Grant's 1953 vintage spent six decades in sherry casks before Gordon & MacPhail bottled it in 2013, creating a study in how time and wood interact with Speyside's delicate character. The nose reveals orange zest, dark chocolate, stewed apples, and beeswax, while water coaxes out deeper layers of raspberry, coffee bean, and cigar ash. The palate is rich and layered, with the sherry influence building gradually across the finish. A collectible expression suited to those with the patience to explore how a whisky evolves over 60 years in wood.
