- Description
- Glen Grant's 1995 distillate aged 16 years before Duncan Taylor bottled it non-chillfiltered with no caramel colouring in 2011, preserving the full copper colour and natural character. Speyside's signature orchard fruit, honey, and spice emerge cleanly, with the absence of chill-filtration lending a richer mouthfeel and extended finish. This approach honours the distillery's elegant, balanced house style while revealing subtle complexity often lost to standard bottling practices. A choice for Speyside traditionalists who value bottling transparency and natural presentation.
