A SIGNATURE WHISKY COLLECTION
Collected by a passionate whisky aficionado over many years, this collection represents many fine and rare bottlings of top distilleries.

Glen Grant

Established in 1840 by brothers James and John Grant, Glen Grant is one of the most recognised names amongst Speyside distilleries. It was merged with George & J. G. Smith, who owned Glenlivet, and became ‘Glenlivet & Glen Grant Distillers Ltd’ in 1953. In the 1960s, the famous Italian whisky agent Armando Goivinetti imported Glen Grant into Italy, where it remains a hugely recognisable brand. Older expressions of Glen Grant are rare and it is the Gordon & MacPhail releases that are most treasured. Gordon & MacPhail’s owner, the legendary George Urquhart, ‘Mr George’, who is regarded ‘the father of single malt’, had a soft spot for Glen Grant.
This 44 Year Old release, bottled in 2009, is a rare staff-bottling by Gordon & MacPhail to commemorate the company receiving The Queen’s Award for Enterprise. The release was matured in refill American sherry hogshead for 44 years with a delicious fruity palate.
