Speyside distillery The Glen Grant have released this 21 year old single malt scotch expression – the oldest in their Principal Collection. Matured in ex-Oloroso Sherry casks and Bourbon barrels, each hand-selected and married by the Master Distiller himself, this exceptionally complex whisky raises the bar to produce unique and stunning flavours of sweet ripe peaches, toffee and raisins on top of the classic Glen Grant tropical fruits with heightened richness and rich creamy buttery notes. The finish is long and lingering with caramelised crème brulee, toasted coconut and vanilla. Irresitble and captivating, this has got to be one for the collection.
John and James Grant applied for a distillery licence in 1839. Naming a distillery after yourself might seem a little egotistical, but these brothers were kind of a big deal, as proven by them paying to extend the Lossiemouth to Elgin railway so that it would reach their new enterprise in Rothes. John’s nephew took over the distillery in 1872. He was another James but was better known as “The Major”. An innovator and a socialite, he was well travelled, a keen hunter and was rumoured to have owned the first automobile in the Highlands. As well as building a second distillery across the road (which would later become known as Caperdonich) and pioneering the export of his Scotch, it was he who introduced the elegantly slender stills, which capture the finest vapours and create the fruitiness and ethereal lightness that has become Glen Grant’s signature. Today, Glen Grant is run by Dennis Malcolm, who was born on the distillery grounds and started his apprenticeship as a cooper there at 15 years of age in 1961. The brand is now owned by Campari, so as well as being one of the biggest selling Single Malts worldwide, it’s also extremely popular in Italy.
