Laid down in a refill Sherry hogshead cask no. 3911 on 2nd November 1969, our Gordon & MacPhail 1957 from Glen Grant Distillery offers deliciously sweet tastes of dried fruits on the palate, complemented by hints of cinnamon and walnut on the finish.
Initially, rich aromas of fruit and woody spices combine with traces of wood polish and old leather. The whisky opens further with sweet notes of salted toffee and hints of dark chocolate. Subtle sherry base notes remain throughout.
Creamy; dried fruits, figs, and spices combine delightfully with an abundance of wood flavours and sweet fudge nuances. Fresh menthol notes balance the malt as bitter oak tannins develop.
The menthol flavours evolve into drying notes of cinnamon, clove, and walnut which curtail the length of the finish.
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 (photo courtesy of John Paul Photography).
