The Glen Grant 13 Year Old is a marriage of 2008 and 2009 vintage spirit from 75 casks hand-selected by Master Distiller Dennis Malcolm, released as the first exclusive bottling in Glen Grant's 180-year history. Bottled at a natural 55% ABV, non-chill filtered and with its own sparkling gold colour, it's a traditional Speyside single malt built for a members-only release that will not be repeated.

The Glen Grant 13 Year Old Tasting Notes

Nose: Dried orange, orchard fruits, sticky caramel, white peach syrup and baked patisserie goods.

Palate: Bright citrus with banana, pineapple and sweet apple, decked with Victoria sponge cake and white chocolate mousse.

Finish: Gooey toffee and ripe tropical fruits, developing towards a long, rich, sweetly spiced malt finish.

Why Choose The Glen Grant 13 Year Old?

Glen Grant rarely puts its name to an exclusive project, and this was the first time it had done so in 180 years of distilling. Dennis Malcolm personally selected all 75 casks that make up this marriage, drawing on decades of experience with the distillery's house style. For collectors, that combination of a genuine distillery first and a hand-picked, unrepeatable cask selection is difficult to find elsewhere in a Speyside single malt.

What Makes Glen Grant Unique?

Founded in 1840, Glen Grant is one of Speyside's oldest and most storied distilleries, known for its tall, narrow stills and distinctive spirit purifiers, which strip back heavier compounds to produce a lighter, fruitier new-make spirit. Dennis Malcolm, born on the distillery grounds in 1946, has spent more than sixty years there and is one of the longest-serving distillers in Scotch whisky, work recognised with an MBE. That combination of tall stills, purifier-driven lightness, and Malcolm's own decades of judgement is what gives Glen Grant its reputation as one of the most awarded distilleries in the world.
