- Description
- Glen Grant's 20-year maturation in ex-bourbon oak from 1996 to 2016 creates a mature, well-integrated expression showcasing the distillery's elegant character. Two decades allow smooth integration of oak influence with the distillery's signature citrus and spice notes, resulting in complexity and refinement. Medium-bodied, dry finish with subtle fruit development. A benchmark aged Speyside for those valuing patience and tradition.
