Glen Grant SMWS 9.30 - 18th Birthday Special Bottling Whisky 28 Year Old · 1972 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with coppery mahogany highlights

Nose

A richly sherried nose: dried fig, raisin and orange zest rise over toasted almond and vanilla. Deep oak and polished spice unfold into hints of leather and cocoa, with a faint, refined smoke—an opulent fruitcake bouquet from the 28-year-old cask.

Palate

Silky, full-bodied palate delivering a rich tapestry of dried fruit—prune, fig and raisin—bound by sherried sweetness. Zesty orange, dark chocolate and toffee mingle with polished oak and subtle spice, while a seam of coffee and walnut lingers into a long, warming finish.

Finish

Silky and enduring, the finish remains in the mouth with velvet sherry sweetness and refined oak. Dried fig, orange zest and dark chocolate unfold, while cinnamon and clove provide a warm spice that lingers. Nutty almond notes drift in as the sweetness slowly tapers, leaving a polished, sophisticated fade that echoes the whisky’s vintage elegance.
