The Glen Grant Distillery 1996 Speyside Whisky, bottled by Carn Mor under their Celebration of the Cask series, is a rare gem for whisky enthusiasts and collectors alike. Distilled in the renowned Glen Grant Distillery, known for its dedication to traditional methods, this single malt Scotch whisky was carefully aged for 27 years in a rich Sherry butt from Spain. Released in 2023 with only 397 bottles produced, this limited edition whisky stands out with an impressive ABV of 55.3%, offering a robust and cask strength experience. This exceptional whisky boasts a captivating dark amber to brown hue. Its rich aroma evokes the essence of winter and Christmas spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove, harmonized with undertones of brown sugar.

The finish is long and sweet, embellished with notes of overripe fruit, making each sip an elegantly round and satisfying experience.
