The Glent Grant 25 Year Old at The Whisky Exchange – Scotch Whisky News


THE GLASSHOUSE: GLEN GRANT 25 YEAR OLD

Glen Grant’s single malts are known for their light, apple fresh character, but the Glasshouse collection uncovers a deeper complexity in the distillery’s whisky, a quality that can only be achieved through time.

These rare malts represent some of the oldest expressions the distillery has ever released, marking not only 180 years of whisky-making but the culmination of Master Distiller Dennis Malcolm OBE’s 60 year career before his retirement.

The Glasshouse collection gets its name from the vast Victorian greenhouses built by Co-founder James ‘The Major’ Grant on the distillery’s estate. A passionate traveller, Grant filled this space with tropical plants and flowers, which inspired three exceptional single malts, each representing a different part of the day within the glasshouse.

The limited edition 25 year old was matured in only the best bourbon and oloroso sherry casks, resulting in tropical notes of coconut, mango, and white stone fruit, with hints of toffee and sun-dried raisins.

A fitting tribute to James Grant and long-time custodian Dennis Malcolm OBE, these rare whiskies represent the closing of a chapter in the distilleries history and the start of something new.
