Glen Grant 18 Year Old Rare Edition is a Speyside single malt bottled at 43% ABV, one of the most celebrated expressions from the Rothes distillery and a showcase of its elegant, fruit-led house style.
Glen Grant was founded in 1840 and is known for its tall, slender stills and purifiers, which create a light, fruity spirit. At 18 years old, that delicacy gains depth from long maturation while keeping its brightness.
The aroma is rich and floral, with oaky overtones and hints of baking spice. The taste is malty caramel, delicate, with dried raisins and vanilla, and the finish is long and sweet, with hints of nuts and spice. Tinned apricots, red apple, pineapple and blossom honey add to its fruit-rich character.
The bottle wears Glen Grant's blue and gold label, and it is a superb gift for an 18th birthday or for any lover of Speyside whisky.
Serve it neat to appreciate its elegance, letting it rest in the glass for a few minutes so the floral notes can open. Its light, fruit-led style makes it a fine choice for those who prefer a gentler single malt, and a natural step up from younger Speyside whiskies.
Scotch whisky must be distilled and matured in Scotland for at least three years in oak casks, and any age statement on the label refers to the youngest whisky in the bottle.
