Glen Grant Gordon & MacPhail Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 53 Year Old · 1953 Vintage
Out of stock
A Glen Grant single malt bottled by Gordon & MacPhail, this 53-year-old was distilled in 1953 and bottled in 2006 after extended maturation in oak, presented at 40% ABV.
More than five decades in oak gently evolves the spirit’s core character, adding layers of vanilla, warm spice and refined wood influence to Glen Grant’s classic elegant Speyside profile.
Light orchard fruit, floral citrus and soft malt sweetness remain present, woven through a mellow, exceptionally mature expression that reflects both the distillery’s balance and the depth developed over long ageing. Releases of this age are increasingly rare and prized for their nuanced refinement and smooth, timeless style.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich golden amber with warm honey tones and a sunlit, polished glow.
Nose
An elegant nose of vanilla and refined oak, woven with warm spices. Delicate orchard fruit (green apple and pear) and floral citrus rise over a soft malt sweetness. A mature, well-balanced aroma that hints at decades in cask, delivering quiet complexity and timeless Speyside finesse.
Palate
Velvety and refined, the palate opens with creamy vanilla and warm spice from long oak aging, underpinned by refined wood influence. Light orchard fruits and floral citrus lift the mid-palate, weaving in soft malt sweetness for a balanced, mature profile, finishing long, smooth and timeless.
Finish
Long, refined and serenely soft, the finish drinks vanilla and gentle spice as refined oak notes unfold. Light orchard fruit and floral citrus retreat, leaving a mellow malt sweetness that lingers with a warm, polished glow. Decades of cask maturation yield a timeless, elegant aftertaste that remains gracefully persistent and impeccably balanced.
