- Description
- This 1970s distillery bottling of Glen Grant's 12-year-old shows the Speyside distillery in its mature prime, presented in a distinctive rectangular bottle that marks its era. Twelve years in cask has mellowed Glen Grant's natural elegance into rounded honey, orchard fruit, and subtle vanilla, with a gentle warming finish. The 40% ABV and careful maturation create a balanced, approachable dram without aggressive oak or spirit heat. A refined expression suited to evening contemplation or as an introduction to vintage Speyside.
