Glen Grant Gordon & MacPhail Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 53 Year Old · 1951 Vintage
Out of stock
A Glen Grant single malt bottled by Gordon & MacPhail, this 53 year old was distilled in 1951 and bottled in 2004 after long maturation in sherry casks, presented at 40% ABV.
Sherry cask ageing over more than five decades brings deep dried fruit richness, gentle spice and mature oak character to Glen Grant’s elegant Speyside style.
The distillery is known for its light, floral and orchard fruit-led profile, and in a release of this age those elements are woven with rich sherry influence and soft, well-integrated oak, creating a refined and exceptionally smooth expression that reflects both long maturation and the distillery’s classic house character.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich deep amber with coppery-mahogany highlights.
Nose
Sherry-influenced aromas rise with dried figs and raisins, pairing with gentle spice and mature oak. Subtle almond, pear and apple fruit brighten the bouquet, while hints of cedar and toffee deepen the profile. A refined Speyside nose—lightly floral, elegantly balanced by long-aged sherry sweetness and soft, polished oak.
Palate
Silky, almost airy texture with a gentle, mouth-coating richness. Dried fruit and fig mingle with orange zest and a whisper of raisin, all wrapped in a soft sherry warmth. Nutmeg and a touch of clove emerge as the oak integrates, lending subtle spice without harshness. The Glen Grant floral lift threads through, keeping orchard fruit brightness alive. Long, polished finish where sweet spice and oak echo.
Finish
An extended, refined finish of dark dried fruits—figs, raisins and dates—softened by decades in sherry casks. Gentle spice and mature oak weave through the echo of Glen Grant’s orchard-fruit style, ending in a warm, vanilla-nut fade. Long, polished and impeccably smooth, with a faint sherry glow lingering.
