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 is very well-balanced with a good richness. There are notes of sherried peels and fruits, winter fruit cake steeped in brandy with notes of chewy raisins and an oaken dryness. A little spice develops with a touch of smoke. The palate is of medium-body with a velvety, sublime delivery. There are notes of walnut and hazelnut with hints of vanilla cream and toasted oak spices. The finish is long and spicy with peppered oak and gentle spices rising.
