- Description
- Distilled in 1961 and aged 52 years in a first-fill sherry cask before bottling in late 2014, this Glen Grant represents the legendary sherried expressions that defined its reputation during the 1960s. The active sherry wood would have layered dried fruits, complex wood sugars, and spice throughout five decades of maturation, creating the intricate profile for which this vintage era is celebrated. At 40% ABV, the whisky remains balanced despite its considerable age and cask influence. This suits experienced drinkers seeking a benchmark example of how great Speyside responds to extended sherry maturation.
