Single Malt
Glen Grant
Scotland
Extraordinarily well-aged single malt from the Glen Grant Distillery, released by Gordon & MacPhail to honour the Platinum Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. Distilled in February 1952, the same year as Elizabeth's coronation, this whisky was filled into a first fill sherry butt, where it remained throughout the coming decades. To mark the anniversary of the Queen's accession 70 years previously, on 6th February 2022, the team at Gordon & MacPhail opened the cask, releasing 256 bottles of this stunning single malt, just weeks shy of a jaw-dropping 70 years old itself.
Notes of beeswax polish give way to honeyed ripe fig aromas, toffee, and orange zest. Aged leather complements rum and raisin.
Stewed blackberry compote, sweet clementine, and milk chocolate flavours are followed by dried tobacco leaf and a menthol undertone.
A long finish with a touch of smoke and a hint of pepper.
