The Glen Grant 1961 GM Licensed Bottling is a magnificent Speyside single malt Scotch whisky, showcasing an intricate and luxurious flavor profile. Distilled on Christmas Day in 1961 at the renowned Glen Grant Distillery, this whisky spent its early decades maturing at the distillery before being transferred to Gordon & MacPhail's bonded warehouses in Elgin in 1972. This extended period of maturation in a first fill Sherry butt has imbued the whisky with a rich depth of character and complexity.
Upon uncorking this exceptional bottle, one is immediately greeted with the enticing aromas of dark chocolate, peppermint, malt, vanilla, and ground coffee. On the palate, the whisky unfolds with layers of blackcurrants, blaeberries, a touch of smokiness, liquorice, and spicy aniseed flavors, culminating in a harmonious and memorable tasting experience.
Bottled on the 4th of February 2011, after quietly maturing for over fifty years, this rare and highly sought-after whisky is a testament to the mastery of whisky-making. Produced by Gordon & MacPhail, one of the most respected independent bottlers, this exquisite offering is an indispensable addition to any serious whisky collector's or enthusiast's collection.
