The Glen Grant 1953 single malt whisky was masterfully distilled in 1953 and aged for an extraordinary 60 years in refill sherry casks before being bottled in 2013 by the renowned bottler Gordon & MacPhail as part of their Distillery Label series. This exquisite Speyside whisky began its journey in casks numbered 598, 599, and 1105 at the historic Glen Grant distillery. It was carefully monitored and nurtured until its transfer to Gordon & MacPhail's bonded warehouses in Elgin on March 26, 1968, where it continued to mature to perfection. On the nose, it reveals alluring notes of stewed apples, beeswax, and a subtle menthol edge. The palate is initially peppery, gradually unfolding rich flavors of orange, dark chocolate, and a hint of bonfire embers. The finish is long and subtly smoky, leaving a lasting impression. This long-aged Glen Grant single malt boasts a rich, dark gold color, showcasing its distinct sherry influences. The addition of water enhances its complexity, bringing forth additional notes of sweet sherry, raspberry, coffee bean, and cigar ash. Overall, this is a rare and highly sought-after whisky that promises to delight connoisseurs and collectors alike.
