About The Whisky

Glen Grant Batch Strength 15 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml is a richer, higher strength expression of the Glen Grant house style. Aged for 15 years and bottled at 50% ABV, it delivers more weight, intensity and texture than the lighter 10 Year Old, while still keeping the distillery’s signature elegance, orchard fruit and clean Speyside freshness. Matured in first fill American oak casks, it shows layers of fruit, honey, vanilla and spice with a beautifully polished finish.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Floral notes, citrus, green apple, honeydew melon, caramel, vanilla and oak.

Palate: Honey, vanilla, apricot marmalade, malt, orchard fruit and gentle spice.

Finish: Long, malty and warming, with honey, apple, soft spice and lingering oak.

A mesmerising display of juicy barley tones which gradually integrate with and then embrace the fragile tannins. Just a little extra buttery oil from the upped strength aids in the longevity of these sensations and gives the mid ground far more weight and substance than you might have expected, though the salivation levels are still high,  Long , languid, lilting and lush right to the very end with a little lime blossom honey lightened the Lunjek marzipan,What a malt this has now become! The fact that two successive bottlings have blown me off my tasting desk means they appear to have nailed the personality of this malt, and in so doing extracting and then displaying the extraordinary and unique charm of this distillery.

Bright, fresh, and sweet on the nose, with green apple, melon, sugared lemon slice, almond cream, vanilla, and a hay field in the sun. The proof gives this ample body and allows flavors of fizzy lemon, fresh ginger, orange scone, caramel dipped apple, honeysuckle, and toasted coconut to spread out over a layer of savory oak. It’s not quick to move on, lingering with a rounded finish of white pepper, fresh ginger, lemon oil, and oak. (Editors' Choice) 50% Alc./Vol. Susannah Skiver Barton

Serving Suggestions

Best enjoyed neat, with a few drops of water, or over a large cube if you want to soften the strength and open up the fruit, honey and vanilla notes.

About the Distillery / Producer / Region

Glen Grant is one of Speyside’s historic distilleries, founded in 1840 by brothers John and James Grant. The distillery became especially associated with Major James Grant, whose innovation and adventurous spirit helped shape the clean, elegant style that Glen Grant is still known for today.

Located in Rothes, in the heart of Speyside, Glen Grant has long been admired for bright, fruit driven single malts with clarity and finesse. The distillery’s tall stills and purifiers help create a lighter, refined spirit, while longer maturation adds texture, sweetness and depth. This 15 Year Old Batch Strength expression gives that classic house style more power and concentration.

Cellaring Potential

Whisky is ready to drink on release and is best enjoyed over time once opened, stored upright in a cool, dark place.
