Glen Grant Gordon & MacPhail Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 38 Year Old · 1968 Vintage
Out of stock
A Glen Grant single malt bottled by Gordon & MacPhail, this 38 year old was distilled in 1968 and bottled in 2006 after long maturation in sherry casks. Bottled at 40% ABV, it reflects the style of extended ageing often seen in Gordon & MacPhail’s well-matured Speyside releases.
Sherry cask maturation brings layers of dried fruit, gentle spice and mature oak, complementing Glen Grant’s naturally light, elegant character where soft orchard fruit and floral notes develop added richness and depth over decades in cask. Bottlings of this age from Glen Grant are known for combining delicacy with remarkable complexity developed through long, slow maturation.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with copper-gold highlights and a touch of mahogany, a warm, sherry-kissed hue.
Nose
Sherry-softened aromas unfold with dried fruit and a whisper of spice, resting on mature oak, while soft orchard fruit and florals rise to lend elegance and quiet depth to the nose.
Palate
Delicate yet complex, the palate opens with orchard fruit and soft floral sweetness, then layers of dried fig and raisin with gentle spice. Sherry-cask maturation brings rich, nutty depth and mature oak, never overpowering Glen Grant’s light elegance. Silky texture, restrained sweetness, and a long, warm finish that evolves into refined warmth and quiet spice.
Finish
An elegant, lingering finish of dried fruit and gentle spice that threads through mature oak. The sherry-cask influence remains, delivering soft orchard fruit and floral echoes, with a warm, refined tail of almond and cocoa that gradually fades, inviting the next quiet contemplative sip.
