- Description
- Bottled by Gordon & MacPhail in the 1980s from their well-stocked warehouses, this Glen Grant was distilled in 1948 and represents Speyside character from the post-war era. The precise age at bottling is uncertain, but at least 30+ years of maturation would have developed considerable oak influence into Glen Grant's typically refined, honey-tinged profile. At 40% ABV and in a vintage Gordon & MacPhail presentation, this is an archive piece. It suits historians and collectors exploring how independent bottlers preserved pre-war and immediate post-war distillery character.
