Glen Grant 60 Year Old Dennis Malcolm Anniversary Edition

Glen Grant 60 Year Old

Dennis Malcolm Anniversary Edition

This limited-edition single malt is not just notable just as the oldest bottling ever released by the beloved Speyside distillery, but also as a celebration of one of the loveliest people in whisky: Glen Grant master distiller Dennis Malcolm.

The Glen Grant Dennis Malcolm 60th Anniversary Edition pays homage to his extraordinary tenure at the distillery with a fittingly extraordinary whisky: a single malt aged in a single oloroso sherry cask since 24 October 1960 and bottled 60 years later at a surprisingly youthful 52.8% ABV. The result is a vibrant yet elegant dram which showcases the full potential of long-aged sherried whisky.

Only 360 crystal decanters of this 60 year old single malt have been produced, with their shape based on the design of Glen Grant’s slender pot stills.

About

Glen Grant

Founded in 1840 by brothers John and James Grant, the distillery is today one of Speyside’s most popular exports.

A great deal of its success is due to James ‘The Major’ Grant, who was fascinated by new technology and who became the first distillery own to introduce electric light to his premises – as well as the first man in the Scottish Highlands to own a car. The Major also introduced the tall, slender tall slender stills and purifiers which created the fresh malty flavour and clear colour that defines Glen Grant whisky to this day.
