While Glen Grant might be one of the lesser-known Scottish distilleries, its whisky has a degree of pedigree that has earned an international reputation, particularly for the Chivas Regal blended whisky, now owned by the Italian Campari Group. The latest release from the brand, the Glen Grant Scotch Whisky 25 Years, brings a range of aromas and flavors to bear that capture the full-bodied nature of their single malt range.
Presented in a stylish and classic bottle design, the Glen Grant Scotch Whisky 25 Years captures attention with its bright gold color, which reflects the smooth and varied flavor profile and finish. Matured in American oak bourbon barrels and Oloroso sherry casks, the whisky incorporates a range of tastes matched with a complex aroma of boiled sweets, vibrant citrus fruits, and hard candy.
On the palate, the Glen Grant Scotch Whisky 25 Years initially hits with a smooth dark chocolate taste with a velvety texture before following with hints of zesty orange rind, nutmeg, and the rich oak sensation from the cask. For the finish, there’s a subtle hint of faint and soft smoke, accentuated with a selection of warm spices that makes it the ideal dram for the winter months.
Indeed, the Glen Grant Scotch Whisky 25 Years feels like a spirit designed explicitly for Christmas. It effortlessly blends chocolates with spices and fruity overtones for a complex but well-balanced effect. It’s another solid addition to Glen Grant’s core collection of whiskies.
