Glen Grant 1967 39 Year Old Gordon & MacPhail (bottled 2006) Single Malt Whisky w/box 700ml

The Chaps at Master of Malt
The nose is rich and full with a well-harnessed sweetness. There are notes of acacia honey and buttery vanilla, notes of mixed wild berries and Crème de fraise. Hints of gooseberries with dry ropes and creamy citrus and smoke. The palate is complex and well-balanced. There are notes of aged Cuban rum with a touch of dark, yet quite subservient peat. The smoke rises gently, coerced by a rather persuasive sherry. The finish is long and smoky with plenty of sherry notes.

Glen Grant is a Scotch whisky distillery known for its single malt. Although it is located in the Speyside town of Rothes, some historical releases may be labeled as Highland whisky.

The distillery was founded in 1840 by John and James Grant, the former a distiller and the latter an engineer and politician. The two also bankrolled the railway line from Craigellachie and Rothes to Elgin and Lossiemouth port. In 1972, Young James Grant ("The Major") took over, and would run the business until his death in 1931. Grant is one of the more colorful characters in Scotch whisky history – he was known for his playboy socialising and fondness for travel, and was the first man in the Highlands to own a car. Indeed, Glen Grant was the first distillery in Scotland to boast an electric light.
