- Description
- Glen Grant's 1990 vintage underwent an unconventional maturation in The Octave range's smaller casks, which accelerates wood interaction during its 21-year aging. This Speyside malt balances the distillery's characteristic light, fruity profile with added complexity from cask influence.
