- Description
- Gordon & MacPhail's 1962 Glen Grant, aged 43 years in sherry cask, showcases why this Speyside distillery stands alongside Glenfarclas and Macallan as a master of long-aged, sherried single malts. Deep notes of prune, raisin, dark chocolate, and polished oak characterize the palate, while the spirit's inherent finesse prevents the wood influence from overwhelming the underlying malt character. The mouthfeel is rich and coating, with a warming, persistent finish. An excellent aged Speyside for those seeking depth without excessive wood dominance.
