The release of a 70-year-old Glen Grant Scotch whisky marks a significant accomplishment in the whisky industry, paying tribute to 'Mr. George' for his pioneering role in promoting aged single malts. Distilled in 1954 and aged exclusively in a first-fill sherry cask, this whisky showcases deep flavors that deviate from Glen Grant's traditional lightness. With a legacy series featuring whiskies over 60 years old, Mr. George's dedication to single malts is evident. This expression challenges typical aging practices and offers a rich, mature profile, emphasizing its uniqueness in the market.
Gone are Glen Grant's traditionally light and fruity characteristics, replaced by aged notes of stewed prunes, cinnamon, dark chocolate and oak spice.
This release stretches the limits of ageing. Ordinarily, the oldest whiskies spend the majority of their time in second- or third-fill casks.
This is a traditional single malt made in the traditional sense - rich, full of mature flavors and it shows its age proudly.
All five whiskies in the Mr George Legacy Series are above 60 years old, and all come from Glen Grant, pointing to his fondness for aged spirits.
