- Description
- This 1998 Glen Grant bottled as an 'Advance Sample' in Douglas Laing's 20cl Old Malt Cask range represents a snapshot of the brothers' cask selections at selection stage. Glen Grant's characteristic smooth, fruity profile—apple, pear, and soft vanilla—dominates, unobstructed by heavy wood influence in the refill cask. The palate is elegant and spirited, with bright acidity and a clean finish. Perfect for sampling without commitment.
