- Description
- Glen Grant's Exploration No.1 ventures beyond traditional cask aging with bourbon maturation followed by rum cask finishing, revealing the distillery's tropical potential. Banana, soft fruit, orange peel and coconut notes create an unexpected, fruit-forward profile with genuine novelty. At 48% ABV, it's light-handed and inviting rather than heavily spiced. Suited to those curious about cask innovation and looking to expand their Glen Grant experience.
