About this SPIRIT
Glen Grant Distillery, Speyside
Glen Grant, founded in 1840, is widely considered to be one of the finest single malts whiskies and is one of the few named after its original owner, Major James Grant, who also built Glen Grant No2 (later renamed Caperdonich Distillery) across the road.
The distilley used to belong to the Chivas and Glenlivet Group, property of Seagram, was bought by the Campari group in 2006.
A classic Speyside malt, Glen Grant has a range of incarnations, ranging from the well known younger versions, to the complex and stylish single vintage malts. Tastewise, it characteristically exudes nuttiness: hazelnuts when young, and almonds when aged.
A world class brand, with a particularly strong following in Italy, and an important component of the blended Whiskies of Chivas Regal.

Description
The nose gives a remarkable fruit bowl pot pourri with deep scented wood notes. The palate is generous with bursts of citrus and vanilla as the flavours swell to release succulent sweet fruit on a carpet of honey. A lingering sweet and slightly spicy finale caps the experience.
Doug McIvor, Spirits Buyer
Glen Grant is widely considered one of the greatest single malt whiskies and this is no exception. Bottled at 18 years of age, the 1995 is a quintessential Speyside malt. Spice, vanilla and buttered toast on the nose lead to vibrant citrus and honey-ed notes on the palate. There is a beautifully long finish with just a hint of almond. Bottled at 46%, this is the perfect after dinner whisky for spring.
