Grant’s 25 Year Old Whisky
An historic launch celebrating an epic voyage
On 9th April 2010, a round trip from London aboard the Venice Simplon Orient Express helped us launch Grant’s 25 Year Old and tell the story of Charles Gordon’s voyage of 100 years ago.
That’s when Charles embarked on a year-long trip to introduce Grant’s whisky to the world. With a hold full of samples, he sailed to places like Lahore, Kuala Lumpur, Shanghai and Sydney. When he arrived back home, the hold was empty but the order book was full.
The 25 Year Old blend was created by Master Blender, Brian Kinsman and Peter Gordon our Chairman (and great, great grandson to our founder, William Grant). It celebrates Charles Gordon’s journey as well as the following generations of the Grant family who have made their own unique contribution to the success of our whisky.
Where to buy
Grant’s 25 Year Old is now available exclusively at the world’s finest airport specialty retail shops in major cities including London, Paris, Rome, Prague, Frankfurt, Riga, Vilnius, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Tel Aviv, Johannesburg and Durban.
What’s the taste?
Here are the official nosing and tasting notes from Brian Kinsman, our Master Blender.
Nose: Deftly balanced notes of fragrant summer peach blossom and polished leather.
Taste: Cinnamon and a touch of ginger bite along with fresh and mellow sweetness.
Finish: Rich spices that linger enthrallingly on the tongue

Fettercairn OB 24yo 44.4%alc.
Limited to 6000 bottles presented in luxurious laquered livery.
Official Tasting Note:
Colour – Deep mahogany gold with amber copper highlights.
Nose – Warm and inviting. Sweet juicy grape pulp, crushed apples and soft pear with subtle hints of cinnamon. This pleasurable experience is quickly followed by oatcakes, freshly baked bread and creamy caramel, with nuances of lemon grass, pineapple and sensual jasmine.
Taste – Firm and positive. Elegant and distinguished. The warmth of American White oak has nurtured this Highland classic single malt and moulded its noble character to perfection. Luscious soft fruits of apple, pear and Cape gooseberries linger long on the palate before the next wave of ecstasy follows on. Nutmeg, peaches and spice brings this fanfare of flavours to a pleasing finish.
Price excluding VAT: £102.13
£120.00 Including VAT at 17.5%
Fettercairn OB 30yo 43.3%alc.
Limited to 3000 bottles presented in luxurious laquered livery.
Official Tasting Note:
Colour – Warm honey gold with shimmering sandy highlights
Nose – Rich and pleasing. Marmalade, ground coffee with whispers of crushed almonds, marzipan and spice open the initial bouquet of complex aromas. Matured for 30 long years in the finest wood, you can easily taste the influence of our Spanish Oloroso sherry butts.
Taste – A treasure chest of flavours gently unfolds on the palate and exposes its many hidden secrets. Warm, sensual and inviting. Citrus fruits, sweet mango and wild berries tease the tongue with their tantalising flavours. Enjoy subtle hints of freshly cut pineapple, tangy grapefruit and cranberries. This fruit bowl of abundance truly rewards the palate providing it with a long lasting memorable after taste. As the saying goes ‘ all good things come to those who are prepared to wait.’
Price excluding VAT: £163.40
£191.99 Including VAT at 17.5
Fettercairn OB 40yo 40%alc.
Limited to 463 bottles signed by Distillery Manager Dave Doig presented in luxurious laquered livery.
Official Tasting Note:
Colour – Dark & mysterious. Intense mahogany and cherry wood.
Nose – Bold, powerful and majestic yet smooth and seductive. For 40 long years the staves of our Apostoles Sherry Butts from the noble Sherry House of Gonzalez Byass in Spain have bound and nurtured this pure liquid gold. This malt offers thick chunky orange rind, cinnamon and spice, coupled with further pleasing aromas of crushed almonds, ginger and bitter chocolate.
Taste – Sip and savour this old master and give it time – never hurry it. Only by holding it long in the mouth will it start to reveal its true identity – its very soul. To enjoy a piece of history, take a generous mouthful and allow this silky nectar to drift over your tongue. Chocolate soufflé, Seville oranges, hints of crème brulee and marzipan richly reward your palate. Then enjoy a final barrage of caramelised raisins with hazelnuts followed by soft liquorice, bringing this symphony of unsurpassed satisfaction to a memorable end.
Price excluding VAT: £612.77
