Glen Grant Vintage Hallmark of St. James Whisky 30 Year Old · 1970 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with a warm mahogany glow and bright copper-gold edges.

Nose

Sherried and opulent, this nose unfolds with dried figs and plums, orange zest, almond and toffee. Vanilla sweetness threads through cacao, espresso and polished oak. Spices—clove, nutmeg—bring warmth, while whispers of tobacco and leather lend old-world depth to this refined 30-year-old Speyside.

Palate

Rich and opulent on the palate, this 30-year Glen Grant carries a sherry-kissed core of dark raisin, fig, orange zest and cocoa, brightened by toffee and polished oak. A syrupy, velvety texture coats the tongue, with cinnamon and clove spice and a warming lift from 54.9% ABV. The finish is long and nutty, with subtle rancio and leather lingering.

Finish

Long, luxurious finish with sherried depth: dried fig and orange zest weave through toasted oak, dark chocolate and walnut, gently warmed by spice. The 54.9% ABV keeps it glossy and persistent, leaving a velvety tail of fruit, cocoa and ginger that lingers and slowly fades.
