The Glen Grant 12 Year Old

The Glen Grant 12 Year Old is a remarkably bright, elegant, and award-winning single malt Scotch whisky that beautifully showcases the classic, fruit-forward style of the Speyside region. Crafted at the historic Rothes distillery under the long-standing guidance of legendary Master Distiller Dennis Malcolm, this expression is distilled using the distillery's famously tall, slender pot stills equipped with unique cooling purifiers. This distinctive design captures only the lightest, most delicate vapors during distillation. Matured for a full dozen years exclusively in high-quality ex-bourbon casks, the resulting spirit balances Speyside's signature orchard fruit character with rich layers of vanilla and oak, offering a highly approachable yet sophisticated dram.

Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with roasted chicken or pork medallions with an apple glaze, light creamy cheeses like Brie or Camembert, smoked salmon crostini, or lemon curd tarts.

TASTING NOTES - A bright, polished golden straw color with a light-to-medium body and an exceptionally clean, crisp, and silky texture on the palate.

NOSE - Fresh, vibrant, and orchard-forward, opening with distinct aromas of ripe green apples, honeyed pears, and citrus zest, beautifully complemented by notes of vanilla fudge, toasted almonds, and a light herbal undertone.

PALATE - Soft and highly balanced on the tongue, delivering dominant flavors of sweet caramel, vanilla cream, and apple pie spice, layered with subtle hints of rich malt, honey, and soft oak tannins.

FINISH - Medium in length, clean, and pleasantly dry, resolving smoothly with lingering notes of warm wood spice, soft vanilla, and a trailing hint of citrus fruit.

SERVE - Best enjoyed neat or with a tiny splash of pure spring water in a classic Glencairn glass at room temperature, or served over a single large ice cube to enhance its bright fruit notes.
