History,
The Glen Grant 25 Year Old hails from Rothes, located in the heart of Speyside, Scotland, a region renowned for its exceptional whisky-making traditions. The distillery, nestled along the banks of the Back Burn, benefits from a pristine water source enriched by natural springs, complemented by high-quality two-row Scottish barley. This whisky is meticulously crafted and bottled at 46% alcohol by volume, ensuring a rich and robust flavor profile while being non-chill filtered to maintain its integrity.
Matured for a quarter of a century in a combination of American oak ex-Bourbon barrels and Oloroso Sherry casks, The Glen Grant 25 Year Old reveals a bright gold hue with a captivating nose. Tasting notes unfold with rich flavors of dark chocolate, zesty orange, oak, and nutmeg, culminating in a lingering finish marked by warm spices and a hint of soft smoke. The traditional dunnage warehouses, where the whisky matures, allow for an unchanging cool environment that enhances the whisky’s fresh and open character.
To appreciate its nuanced complexities, The Glen Grant 25 Year Old is best served neat in a Glencairn nosing glass or a rocks glass. A side of purified still water is recommended, as adding a drop or two can elevate the aroma and release additional flavors absorbed from the barrels. The innovative taller-necked copper stills used during production, along with water-cooling purifiers, ensure the collection of the finest vapors, resulting in a lighter, delicate spirit that is both aromatic and vibrantly fruity, embodying the essence of The Glen Grant’s signature style.
Tasting Notes,
Nose: Bright citrus fruits, boiled sweets, hard candy
Palate: Velvety smooth dark chocolate, zesty orange rind, rich oak and nutmeg
Finish: Enduring finish of warm spices and faint hint of soft smoke
