Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Deep gold with amber tints; rich colour from extended maturation, medium-full legs
Nose
Gorgeous vanilla, nuts, and caramel. Rich and floral with oaky overtones and hints of baking spices. A refined, mature nose showing the benefits of 18 years in wood
Palate
Malty caramel, delicate dried raisins, and vanilla. Smooth and complex with the signature Glen Grant elegance elevated by extended oak aging. Jim Murray's 2017 Scotch Whisky of the Year — exceptional balance between fruit, oak, and sweetness
Finish
Long sweet finish with hints of nuts and spice. Warm and lingering with vanilla and oak. The 18 years of maturation create a genuinely distinguished conclusion
