Glen Grant 16YO Connoisseurs Choice Gordon & MacPhail 2005

HED46795 70cl 57.1%
Gordon & MacPhail Connoisseurs Choice Glen Grant 16 Year Old is an age-statement Speyside single malt whisky produced at the Glen Grant Distillery in Elgin and bottled by independent bottler Gordon & MacPhail in 2022. The Connoisseurs Choice range broke new ground when it was introduced in 1968, offering a unique platform to many of Scotland’s single malt distilleries from across all regions, some of which had never before been bottled as a single malt. This 16-year-old was matured in a first-fill Sherry hogshead for 16 years before being bottled in June 2022 at a cask strength of 57.1%. Just 315 bottles were made. This rich, mellow Speyside malt displays notes of fruitcake, spiced apple and milk chocolate, with a hint of orange marmalade and coffee bean.

Glen Grant

Glen Grant

Glen Grant was founded in 1840 by brothers John and James Grant, a pair of former illegal distillers and smugglers who had decided to establish themselves as legitimate whisky makers. The distillery eventually passed to Major James Grant, nephew of founder John Grant. James modernised the distillery in the late 1800s, adding electric light and introducing taller, more slender stills - a feature that still characterises the character of the spirit to this day.

Older bottlings of Glen Grant lean heavily on the use of ex-Sherry casks, but the recently launched core range tends to a lighter, fruitier style of single malt. Glen Grant is used extensively in Chivas blends and is widely available in the form of venerable old vintage bottlings from the Gordon & MacPhail. A core range features a 10 year old, 12 year old, 15 year old and 18 year old.
