Glen Grant Gordon & MacPhail Single Malt Scotch Whisky 10 Year Old
Out of stock
What makes this 1980's Glen Grant bottling fairly unique it that it has been bottled at full cask strength, which is a bit of a rarity for Gordon and Macphail.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Bright gold with pale straw tones and a warm honey-glow.
Nose
Bold and uncompromising on the nose, this Glen Grant greets with rich sherry-layered fruit: fig, raisin, and orange zest, lacquered with toffee and dark honey. Toasted almond, vanilla, and warming spices ride a robust oak backbone, while faint espresso notes and leather hints emerge as the alcohol breathes. A potent, inviting prelude to the cask-strength palate.
Palate
Bold and densely textured, this cask-strength Glen Grant coats the tongue with honeyed malt, ripe orchard fruit, and zesty citrus. Spiced oak and a whisper of cocoa mingle with creamy vanilla, carried by a buoyant 57.1% punch. The finish is long, warming, and gently nutty, with echoes of oak, spice, and citrus.
Finish
Long, luxurious finish: peppery warmth and oak surround dried fruit, orange zest, and toffee, with a subtle sherry-tinged sweetness. Cocoa and vanilla leave a creamy, elegant echo as the high-strength depth lingers, tapering to a refined, mineral fade.
