Single Cask Nation Glen Grant 18 Year Old 2006 #161544

Single Cask Nation Glen Grant 18 Year Old 2006 #161544 is a limited Speyside single malt distilled in October 2006 and independently bottled by Single Cask Nation in autumn 2025. Following its initial maturation, the whisky spent four years finishing in a second-fill #4 char oak barrel, developing a rich balance of orchard fruits, creamy vanilla, toasted oak, and delicate spice. Bottled at 57.6% ABV, with only 180 bottles produced, this single-cask expression showcases Glen Grant's elegant, fruit-forward character through layers of juicy pears, sweet peaches, citrus, and warming malt.

Food Pairing: Roasted chicken, grilled pork tenderloin, aged Gouda, toasted almonds, peach cobbler, and vanilla custard.

Tasting Notes: Juicy pears, peach, lemon sweets, vanilla custard, crisp apples, sweet malt, and toasted oak.

Nose: Bright aromas of ripe pears, lemon drops, icing sugar, and delicate orchard fruit sweetness.

Palate: Creamy vanilla custard, peach desserts, juicy pears, and sweet malt, complemented by gentle oak spice.

Finish: Long and balanced, with lingering crisp apple, malt biscuits, vanilla sweetness, and subtle oak.

Serve: Enjoy neat to appreciate its cask-strength character, or add a few drops of water to reveal additional orchard fruit and soften the oak spice.
