The Gordon & MacPhail Private Collection 1952 from Glen Grant Distillery has spent the past 70 years maturing in a first fill sherry cask. It was bottled on 6th February, the date of the Queen’s accession, and serves as a fitting tribute, exemplifying how character, patience and wisdom can mature over decades to deliver an exceptional legacy.
In support of the Queen’s ‘Green Canopy’ initiative, and building on the successful 2021 partnership with Scottish charity Trees for Life, Gordon & MacPhail are donating a further £20,000 from the proceeds of this release.
