Glen Grant Gordon & MacPhail Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 42 Year Old · 1965 Vintage
Out of stock
Distilled at Glen Grant in 1965 and bottled by Gordon & MacPhail in 2008 after more than four decades in oak, this Speyside single malt was presented at 40% ABV.
One of a small number of vintage releases from this era, it showcases whisky drawn from carefully selected casks laid down during a prolific period for independent bottlers like Gordon & MacPhail, who built a reputation by choosing mature stocks from classic Speyside distilleries.
The extended maturation in a combination of refill sherry butt and American hogsheads softens and integrates the spirit’s orchard fruit and gentle floral notes, while adding layers of dried fruit, subtle spice and oak-driven complexity.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber-gold with coppery highlights and a warm honey-bronze glow.
Nose
Soft orchard fruit, pear and apple, interweaves with delicate florals. A lift of dried fig and raisin appears, guided by sherry warmth, with subtle spice and toasted oak lending backbone. An elegant, nuanced nose that promises depth and quiet, refined complexity.
Palate
Silky on the palate, orchard fruits and gentle florals mingle with dried fruit and a trace of spice. Sherry butt and American hogshead maturation soften the oak, yielding refined sweetness and a quiet, oak-driven complexity that lingers with an elegant, warm finish.
Finish
An elegant, enduring finish where orchard fruits soften into hints of dried fruit and spice. Sherry-influenced sweetness lingers, wrapped in refined oak with delicate almond and cocoa notes. The warmth carries on the palate, fading slowly to a poised, dignified finish.
