Glen Grant Gordon & MacPhail Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 40 Year Old · 1966 Vintage
Out of stock
Distilled at Glen Grant in 1966 and bottled by Gordon & MacPhail in 2006, this is a mature Speyside single malt presented at 40% ABV in a 70cl bottle.
Glen Grant’s elegant, fruit-led style is a natural fit for long ageing, and Gordon & MacPhail have a strong track record for releasing beautifully mature examples from the distillery.
Expect a softly rounded, carefully matured profile where gentle oak, subtle spice and refined fruit character take centre stage rather than heavy intensity.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with copper-gold highlights and a warm, mahogany glow.
Nose
Delicate orchard fruits lead the aroma: ripe pear, green apple and a touch of quince, lifted by lemon zest. A soft cask sweetness threads through, with vanilla and light oak wafting in the background. Subtle spice—white pepper and a hint of ginger—adds quiet complexity to an elegant, refined nose.
Palate
Silky and softly rounded on the palate, this Speyside unfolds with refined fruit: orchard apples and pear, a touch of citrus, lifted by vanilla and gentle oak. Subtle spice—white pepper and nutmeg—drifts through a poised sherried sweetness. Creamy, elegant mouthfeel, and a long, balanced finish that speaks of quiet maturity rather than power.
Finish
Soft, lingering finish with gentle oak echoing through refined fruit and a whisper of spice. Elegant and restrained, it fades to a delicate warmth that lingers long after the last sip.
