Glen Grant Gordon & MacPhail Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 47 Year Old · 1959 Vintage

Colour

Rich amber-gold with copper highlights and a whisper of mahogany at the rim, a warm, honeyed glow.

Nose

Opulent on the nose, a softly honeyed grain and ripe orchard fruit give way to a lush sherry lift. Dried figs and raisins mingle with orange marmalade, almond and a hint of spice. Subtle oak and cedar frames a refined perfume, with a whisper of leather underscoring the mature, resinous finish.

Palate

Silky and refined, this sherry-matured Glen Grant coats the palate with dried fig and apricot, orange marmalade and honeyed sweetness. Nutty almond and cocoa drift with a whisper of coffee, while cinnamon and clove lend warmth. Oak remains elegant and integrated, tannins soft. The finish unfolds slowly into dark fruit, toasted nut, cocoa nibs and a final kiss of leather.

Finish

Long, refined and contemplative, the finish unfolds in measured waves. Sherry-influenced sweetness carries notes of raisin and fig, brightened by orange zest, while cocoa, toasted almond and a whisper of spice drift over toasty oak. Warmth lingers gracefully, leaving a velvety, oak-kissed finale.
