- Description
- Bottled by Gordon & MacPhail in the 1970s at 15 years of age, this Glen Grant reflects the distillery's elegant house style with a decade-and-a-half of maturation in wood. At this age, Glen Grant typically shows honey, light orchard fruit, and developing wood spice balanced against its naturally delicate character. The 1970s independent bottling at 40% ABV preserves this balance without excess wood influence. This vintage bottling suits those seeking the classic, understated Speyside profile from a formative era of modern whisky appreciation.
