Description
Gordon & MacPhail's 1956 Glen Grant, bottled at 51 years old, captures over half a century of maturation in sherry wood from the distillery's pre-war era. The extended aging has created layers of dark dried fruit, walnut, leather, and subtle oak tannins, balanced by hints of honey and orchard fruit that prove Glen Grant's resilience under long cask influence. The palate is dry and refined, with a persistence that only comes from true age and quality cask work. This is a whisky for patient collectors and those seeking to taste Scottish distilling history.
