- Description
- This 45-year-old Glen Grant, bottled by Gordon & MacPhail in the 1970s from pre-Second World War distillate, represents an exceptional window into historic Speyside character. Decades of maturation have developed rich, complex flavors of dried fruit, polished wood, and subtle spice, with the spirit maintaining remarkable balance and elegance throughout. The texture is silky and refined, with a gentle fade that belies the spirit's considerable age. A rare opportunity to experience Glen Grant from its finest production period.
