GLEN GRANT

SPEYSIDE

Herbal and nutty when young, but can be a huge after-dinner dram when matured at length in sherry casks.

Set in the town of Rothes in Speyside, Glen Grant is apparently the second highest selling malt whisky worldwide, and was one of the first whiskies to be marketed as a single malt. The 10 year old offers excellent value for money, while the 5 year old is a huge seller in Italy albeit with a very light and spirity nose and taste.

Glen Grant distillery started its official life in 1840, and was founded by the brothers John and James Grant. James' son, a major in the army, collected plants from India and Africa and planted them in the distillery gardens.
