Intro:
One of 137 bottles, this is a bottle from a single cask of Glen Grant, distilled in 1996 and bottled in 2019. Bottled at cask strength with no coloring or filtering and matured in a bourbon cask, this should be a great look at what Glen Grant can do. Let's dive in.
-
Nose:
Sweet honey, heather, musty lemon, toffee and dough. Sweet, malty, very standard Glen Grant profile.
-
Taste:
Medium mouth feel. Sweet lemon, lime, minerality, faint dough, almond. Pepper, faint bitter orange.
-
Finish:
Long, sweet, but a bit hot. Lemon, pepper, faint sulfur, toasted almond and vanilla bean.
-
Overall:
Very nice overall. It’s pretty typical for old bourbon Glen Grant - solid, but not exceptional. It’s good to see more of these coming to market and holding up the quality of the few, rare, previous Grants that have come to spotlight.
