Glen Grant Gordon & MacPhail Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 50 Year Old · 1955 Vintage
Out of stock
A Glen Grant single malt bottled by Gordon & MacPhail, this 50 year old was distilled in 1955 and bottled in 2005 after extended maturation in oak, presented at 40% ABV.
Decades in oak bring refined wood influence to Glen Grant’s elegant Speyside style, gently smoothing and integrating its fruit-led core while adding layers of vanilla, soft spice and subtle dried herb character.
The distillery’s signature floral, orchard fruit notes remain evident, woven through a mellow, exceptionally mature profile that reflects both long maturation and the classic balance of a historic Glen Grant expression. Releases of this age are rare and prized for their nuanced depth and timeless refinement.
