Country: Scotland

Region: Speyside

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 46%

Score: 95 Points

This limited-edition release is the oldest single malt in the Glen Grant range, and was matured in a combination of Oloroso Sherry butts and hogshead casks along with ex-Bourbon barrels. The nose has touches of peaches, toffee, fresh flowers, apricots, and a hint of pears. The taste is fruity and vibrant with notes of apples, peaches, a hint of citrus, creme brûlée, vanilla beans, and dried flowers. The finish is long and fruity with a touch of citrus tartness. Excellent!
