"The Glen Grant, a revered Speyside distillery with more than 180 years of history, has unveiled an ambitious new whisky line that pays tribute to exploration and discovery. Known as the Exploration Series, this bi-annual limited-edition program celebrates unique cask finishes sourced from around the world. Each release reflects the spirit of adventure embodied by James "The Major" Grant, the distillery's eccentric founder whose passion for travel and experimentation shaped The Glen Grant's enduring legacy."
"Exploration No. 1 begins with The Glen Grant's distinctive distillation process, carried out in the distillery's custom-designed stills and purifiers. This setup, unique to the Rothes distillery, creates the aromatic and fruity character that defines every expression. The whisky is matured in ex-bourbon casks within traditional stone dunnage warehouses before its final finishing stage in rum casks carefully selected for their depth and complexity. Bottled at 48% ABV, the spirit captures the adventurous vision of The Major while delivering an accessible yet sophisticated drinking experience."
"Bright amber in appearance, Exploration No. 1 invites exploration from the very first pour. The nose reveals an abundance of fruit-berries, oranges, and ripe banana-wrapped in a rich sweetness. On the palate, warming spices meet vibrant vanilla, complemented by tropical flavors that unfold gradually with every sip. The finish lingers long and creamy, punctuated by a delicate hint of pineapple, leaving a lasting impression of balanc"
