Glen Grant 1966

Country: Scotland

Region: Speyside

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Gordon & MacPhail/KWM

ABV: 49.4%

Score: 89 Points

This whisky was aged for 41 byears in a refill sherry hogshead, and is only available through Calgary’s Kensington Wine Market. The nose has notes of nutmeg, cinnamon, figs, oak, and orange peel with just a touch of peaches. The taste is full of molasses, cinnamon, peaches, nutmeg, and slightly smoky with a touch of citrus. The finish is a well-balanced mix of tartness and fruit with just a kiss of smoke.
