- Description
- This 18-year-old Glen Grant was aged in second-fill, char level 4 bourbon barrels that preserve the distillery's hallmark fruit-forward character while adding subtle oak complexity. The nose opens with fresh pear and a custard-like sweetness, while the palate develops into peach melba with a silky texture from the cask influence. At 57.6% ABV, the spirit retains excellent balance and definition. A textbook example of how lighter cask treatment can showcase Speyside's natural elegance.
