About the Whisky:
Glen Grant 15 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (Signatory Bottling) was distilled on April 22, 1997 and matured for 5,600 days, or just over 15 years, in a used hogshead cask that was hand-selected by Dennis Malcolm, one of just eight Glent Grant master distillers in the past 125 years. Malcolm, who began apprenticing at the distillery as a cooper when he was just 15 years old, has over five decades of experience distilling and maturing whisky. "We don't believe in rushing things at Glen Grant, he says. "We allow nature to take its time to do its work. On August 21, 2012, the maturing whisky was bottled without the use of any artificial coloring at 86 proof.
Tasting Notes:
Glen Grant 15 Year Old Single Malt has a golden honey color, along with an aroma of sweet malt, vanilla, whipped cream and toffee. Notes of orange zest and citrus dominate the palate, and are balanced by a touch of cloves, oak spices and ginger. The finish is long and smooth, with a hint of creamy butter.
Awards/Reviews:
Double Gold - SF World Spirits Competition 2021
95 Points - Intl Wine & Spirits Competition 2021
"Rich and rounded with summer fruits and an abundance of fresh peach and honeysuckle. Creamy vanilla fudge underpinned by tropical notes of banana with white pepper. Spicy with a sandalwood and chilli dry finish."
92 Points, Excellent/Highly Recommended - Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2021
"Big, generous nose of roasted barley, fresh cut straw, baked honey, and wet stones. The palate is balanced and refined combining sweet oak flavors with a bit of toasted grain earthiness and refreshing lemon zest."
92 Points, Editor's Choice - Whisky Advocate
"Bright, fresh, and sweet on the nose, with green apple, melon, sugared lemon slice, almond cream, vanilla, and a hay field in the sun. The proof gives this ample body and allows flavors of fizzy lemon, fresh ginger, orange scone, caramel-dipped apple, honeysuckle, and toasted coconut to spread out over a layer of savory oak. It’s not quick to move on, lingering with a rounded finish of white pepper, fresh ginger, lemon oil, and oak."
