Private Collection 1965 from Glen Grant Distillery
Our Gordon & MacPhail 1965 from Glen Grant Distillery has been matured in a refill Sherry hogshead cask, gifting the spirit with sweet candied orange flavours on the palate, complemented by dashes of white pepper on the finish.
Welcome to the 'Private Collection'
Nose
A basket laden with windfall apples. Aromas of clementine and vibrant orange sit upon intense polished oak. Touches of vanilla begin to come through with flashes of nutmeg and cinnamon.
Taste
Creamy; sweet oak tannins offer balance to candied orange and tonka bean. Decadent rose and jasmine flavours emerge with a subtle eucalyptus edge.
Finish
Sweetness working in harmony with dashes of white pepper. Delicate herbal elements remain, slowly fading into eucalyptus.
Glen Grant
Built in 1840 by brothers John and James Grant, previously illicit distillers, this landmark Rothes distillery overlooks the majestic River Spey. Glen Grant Distillery draws its water from the Caperdonich Well, the same water source as its now mothballed sister distillery, Caperdonich. Legend has it that a spirit pipe ran between the two; this was prone to ‘interference’ at night from the local townsfolk who fancied a sly, illicit dram or two!
Today, Glen Grant is famed internationally for its smooth, elegant whisky produced by the distillery’s unique stills – these have an almost square section between the pot and neck and purifiers on the lyne arms. These uncommon additions lend to the world renowned deliciously light, fruity, and gentle character that mature wonderfully in both bourbon and Sherry casks.
