- Description
- This extraordinary 70-year-old Glen Grant represents a rare window into 1948 distillation, aged in a single first-fill sherry butt and bottled by Gordon & MacPhail. The nose reveals layers of vanilla fudge, strawberries, and raspberries that evolve into waxy orange peel and cinnamon, while the palate balances sherry-soaked fruit with fresh citrus zest and cardamom warmth. A whisky of profound maturity and subtlety that rewards patient nosing and sipping.
