About The Glen Grant 15 Year Old Batch Strength 1st Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Made by the longest serving Master Distiller in Scotland, Dennis Malcolm, Glen Grant 15 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky was aged for long 15 years in hand-selected first-fill ex-bourbon American oak casks. Bottled without the use of any artificial coloring at a higher proof of 100, this is a signature Glen Grant expression that greets with milk chocolate and malt on the nose and brown sugar, spiced pear, and apricot jam on the palate. Non chill-filtered, it finishes off smooth and gentle with notes of soft fruit, walnut biscuit, malt, and honey.
Glen Grant 15 Year Old Single Malt has a golden honey color, along with an aroma of sweet malt, vanilla, whipped cream and toffee. Notes of orange zest and citrus dominate the palate, and are balanced by a touch of cloves, oak spices and ginger. The finish is long and smooth, with a hint of creamy butter.

About The Glen Grant
Situated along the banks of the River Spey, the Glen Grant Distillery was founded in 1840 by John and James Grant, who had previously been employed at the Aberlour Distillery. Glen Grant’s unique location — it enjoyed access to fresh water from the river, a steady supply of barley from the surrounding farmland and access to transportation from the nearby port of Garmouth — allowed it proposer quickly. By 1872, however, both John and James Grant had passed away, and James Grant Jr. — James’ son and John’s nephew — inherited the distillery. The younger Grant, known simply as “the Major, “quickly proved himself a worthy successor.
The Major was a legendary inventor, womanizer and traveler — he was the first person in the Scottish Highlands to own a car and his distillery was the first in Scotland to enjoy electricity. In addition, the Major designed and equipped Glen Grant distillery with the tall, slender stills and purifiers that allowed Glen Grant to produce whisky that was noticeably lighter and more delicate as compared to its Scottish brethren.
About Scotch
Scotch is the most popular whisky in the world and is considered the king of them all! There are five whisky regions in Scotland (six if you count the not officially recognized Islands), and each of them produces spirits with unique properties and distinct tasting notes. (The type of grain used determents the type of the scotch.)
Malt whisky is made of malted barley, and grain whisky uses other grains like corn or wheat. Most of the time, a whisky is blended from different distilleries hence the name blended scotch, but if a malt whisky is produced in a single distillery, we get something extraordinary called a single malt.
