Gordon & MacPhail 1952 From Glen Grant Distillery
Honouring the Platinum Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
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.
Nose
Notes of beeswax polish give way to ripe fig aromas, toffee and orange zest. Aged leather tempers rum and raisin.
Taste
Stewed blackberry compote, sweet clementine and milk chocolate flavours are followed by a menthol undertone.
Finish
A long finish with a touch of smoke and a hint of pepper.
Glen Grant Distillery
Built in 1840 by John and James Grant, this landmark distillery located at Rothes overlooks the majestic river Spey and is thought to be the only Scotch whisky distillery to be named after its owners. Glen Grant draws its water from the Caperdonich well, the same water source used by its sister distillery which was mothballed in 2002. Glen Grant whiskies are famed internationally for their smooth elegance, produced by the site’s unique stills that have an almost square section between the pot and neck and purifiers on the lyne arms. These uncommon additions combine to deliver a deliciously light, fruity and gentle character that mature wonderfully in both bourbon and Sherry casks.
