Bottled by Gordon and MacPhail, this was distilled at the Glen Grant distillery in 1950 and matured in refill sherry casks. It's a warming, smooth whisky with nutty, sherried flavours.
Please note: The box has suffered a few bumps and scrapes, but in doing so it has protected the bottle and subsequently the whisky within. An admirable pursuit. Good job, box.
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.
