Glen Grant Gordon & MacPhail Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 45 Year Old · 1961 Vintage
Out of stock
Distilled at Glen Grant in 1961 and bottled by Gordon & MacPhail in 2006, this 45-year-old Speyside single malt was matured in oak and presented at 40% ABV.
Bottlings like this form part of Gordon & MacPhail’s long-heritage releases from the 1960s, drawn from casks laid down in an era when the distillery’s spirit was often held for decades before release.
Extended oak maturation gently evolves Glen Grant’s elegant style, with the long wood ageing adding layers of gentle vanilla, warm spice and refined structure, while the distillery’s classic light orchard fruit and soft floral notes remain woven through a mellow, mature profile.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Golden amber with sunlit honey tones.
Nose
Silky nose of light orchard fruits—pear and green apple—lifted by warm vanilla and a whisper of spice. Subtle floral notes, like apple blossom, rest on a softly seasoned oak, delivering refined structure and a mellow sweetness. A restrained, elegant Speyside aroma with quiet depth and a long, polished vanilla finish.
Palate
Silky and restrained, the palate carries gentle vanilla and warming spice from extended oak, supported by Glen Grant’s hallmark light orchard fruit and soft floral notes. A refined structure lends measured weight, with a mellow, mature profile that glides to a clean, lingering finish of pear and subtle spice.
Finish
An enduring finish of gentle vanilla and warm spice, woven through a mellow oak frame. Lingering orchard fruit and soft floral echoes fade gracefully, leaving a refined sweetness and a subtle, well-composed oak finish.
