The Glen Grant 1959 Mr. George Legacy Third Edition is a rare and extraordinary whisky, a true gem for connoisseurs and enthusiasts. This single malt was distilled at the Glen Grant Distillery in Speyside and is part of the Mr. George Legacy series by independent bottlers Gordon & MacPhail. It was laid down in 1959 and aged for 63 years in a first-fill sherry butt before being bottled in 2022 at natural cask strength.
This special edition is a tribute to George Urquhart, also known as Mr. George, who was a pioneer in the world of whisky and the father of single malt. He created the Connoisseurs Choice range in 1968 to showcase single malt whiskies, including his personal favorite, Glen Grant.

The palate reveals flavors of stewed berries, orange peel, fresh mint, chocolate, and oak spice, followed by a long and fruity finish with a lingering spice. This is truly an expression that Mr. George would be proud of.
