Interesting fact… Glen Grant 1960 (Gordon and MacPhail) whisky spells its name whisky as it originates in Scotland. Had it been produced in America its name would be Glen Grant 1960 (Gordon and MacPhail) whiskey, instead of whisky.
The nose is quite toasty and dry. There are plenty of feinty notes with a touch of leather and acacia honey. There are hints of wood resin and sap with a little pine oil. There are shades of rosewater and drying grapes with a good sherry note. The palate is quite rich and full. There are hints of cut herbs with a good sherry note. The oak is dry and smoky with a good greenness. Notes of rubbed petals and winter spice develop. The finish is long with cinnamon and winter spice for added warmth. ...more
The Master of Malt
Fantastic
Presented with this rare malt Whiskey for a special birthday by my cousins in Australia. I have sampled many over the years but this is by far the best. Complex but smooth. The flowery taste mixed with pine and the subtle smokey finish make this a must for any Malt Whiskey drinker. Rated 9 as I have never sampled a 40 year plus before.
