Offered by Gordon & MacPhail
In celebration of the 70th anniversary of La Maison du Whisky, Gordon & MacPhail is donating a 70-year-old Glen Grant, distilled in 1956, to the GoodPlanet Foundation. Produced as a single bottle, this one of one release directly commemorates this landmark anniversary while demonstrating Gordon & MacPhail’s expertise in selecting and maturing rare whiskies. It is a unique bottle dedicated to supporting the environmental initiatives of the GoodPlanet Foundation.
On the nose, this single malt reveals aromas of ripe fruit, candied apricot and orange peel, complemented by notes of wax, precious wood and sweet spices. The palate is elegant and complex, distinguished by notes of mango, dried fruit and marmalade, followed by hints of dark chocolate and blond tobacco. The long, balanced finish lingers with notes of candied fruit, spices and matured oak.

The distillery Glen Grant

Scotland, Speyside. Distillery operational. Owners: Chivas Brothers Ltd, Pernod Ricard

Glen Grant is a textbook case in the history of the Scotch whisky industry. For decades (and still to this day), the distillery's official label was found on both independent bottlings and the distillery's own bottlings. Some of the most active independent bottlers in the 50s and 60s included Gordon & MacPhail, Campbell, Hope & King (which also worked with Macallan for the bottling and distribution of its malt), Cadenhead, Robert Watson and R Moray Bonding. The result is a multitude of available versions, making it an enthralling dram to collect. As Glen Grant was a blender's malt (Chivas Regal, 100 Pipers, etc.), its owners concentrated on a more classic maturation method characterized by bourbon. Gordon & MacPhail for their part decided to specialize in versions aged exclusively in ex-sherry casks. It was a smart move and their vintages casks became highly prized by whisky enthusiasts and collectors across the world.
