The Private Collection 1948 from Glen Grant Distillery was filled into a first-fill Sherry cask on 10th April 1948, the year of the new monarch’s birth. Only 281 bottles will be available of this unique, ultra-rare whisky, bottled on 15th December, 74 years to the day after His Majesty’s christening.
After more than seven decades of maturation, this whisky retains a remarkable cask strength of 50.4%. It’s a vibrant and fragrant single malt packed with festive spices, mulled berries, a hint of raisin and lemon zest.
To celebrate the release, a donation of £25,000 is being made by Gordon & MacPhail to the Prince’s Foundation.
The charity runs a diverse programme of education and training for all ages and backgrounds, including traditional arts and heritage craft skills, horticulture, wellbeing and hospitality, and regeneration projects to support communities.
