The Glen Grant 1955 GM Licensed Bottling is a highly regarded single malt whisky, first introduced to the market over a century ago, and has since garnered worldwide acclaim, particularly in Italy. Originally bottled by Glen Grant itself, the mid-twentieth century saw the bottling of this single malt outsourced to Gordon & MacPhail. This series, known as Distillery Labels or Licensed Bottling, encompasses multiple distilleries in the Speyside region.
Founded in 1839 by James & John Grant, the Glen Grant distillery is one of Speyside's most esteemed establishments. Over time, the business expanded significantly, propelling it to become one of the largest distilleries in the region—a status it still holds today.
This specific bottling of Glen Grant was distilled in 1955 and bottled in 2005, resulting in a 50-year-old single malt whisky. Matured for five decades in first-fill sherry hogsheads, this whisky boasts a rich and complex flavor profile. Presented in a wooden box, it has an alcohol content of 40% ABV.
Glen Grant's storied history saw it join the Seagram's Chivas Brothers group in the 1970s, before being acquired by Pernod Ricard in 2001 and subsequently sold to Campari in 2006.
