Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Warm gold with copper highlights; the rum cask finishing adds warmth and depth to the natural colour
Nose
Rich fruity sweetness of berries, oranges, and ripe banana. The rum cask influence brings tropical exuberance to the Glen Grant house style. Warm and inviting
Palate
Warming spices on the palate guided by vanilla vibrancy and tropical notes. The Caribbean rum cask finishing creates a sweet, spiced character layered over Glen Grant's signature light elegance. Complex and flavour-forward at 48% non-chill filtered
Finish
Long, creamy finish with a hint of fresh pineapple. The rum cask influence lingers through vanilla and tropical fruit. First in a planned biannual exploration series
