Tasting Notes

Official Tasting Notes

Glen Grant is one of Speyside’s stalwarts, consistently producing outstanding whiskies in its own subtle, understated way, this old sherry butt is a perfect example.

Nose: The harmonious nose is a masterclass in maturation over wood-seasoning showing well developed distillate character; bruised apples, hessian, orange zest and aged desert wine.

Palate: This theme drifts onto the palate with the oak very gently guiding more soft fruit notes over the palate. There’s a hint of wood smoke on the palate along with a little more fresh fruit.

A great example of classy old distillate left to mature in a wonderfully inactive cask, turns out wood doesn’t always make the whisky
