- Description
- Distilled in 1936 and aged for 50 years in oak before bottling by Gordon & MacPhail in the mid-1980s, this Glen Grant represents Speyside whisky from a bygone era. At five decades of maturation, the spirit would have developed considerable depth and complexity, with the characteristics of Glen Grant's light, elegant house style tempered by the oxidative effects of prolonged aging. The 40% ABV reflects the gentler bottling practices of independent bottlers from that period. This is a rare archive piece suited to the serious collector seeking to experience how Speyside whisky evolved through the twentieth century.
