Description
This exceptionally rare Glen Grant, distilled in 1955 and matured for over 56 years in sherry casks, represents a remarkable feat of cask management and spirit stability across more than half a century. The extended aging has developed deep mahogany colour, complex dried fruit and spice character, with the sherry wood contributing layers of toffee, leather, and oak while maintaining the distillery's characteristic honeyed elegance. A collector's piece for those with reverence for pre-1960s Speyside character and the patience required to appreciate spirits of this age and rarity.
