- Description
- Glen Grant's 1970 distillate spent 33 years in a single sherry cask, yielding just 108 bottles when opened by Duncan Taylor in 2003—a rare window into Speyside character from a bygone era. The extended sherry maturation has built deep layers of dried fruit, oak spice, and oxidative complexity across the palate. Cask strength delivery preserves the full richness accumulated over three decades. A collector's piece for those seeking the patina of age and the character of pre-modern distilling.
