- Description
- Glen Grant's sophisticated house style comes through clearly in this single cask (23169) matured for two decades and bottled at natural cask strength by Mackillop's Choice in 2011. The distillery's bright, fruity character gains complexity from 20 years in wood, balancing green apple and citrus with warming oak spice. A naturally strong expression for those who prefer their whisky undiluted and unfiltered.
