GLEN GRANT  1998 25 Year Old The Whisky Agency

Glen Grant is one of Speyside’s most recognised distilleries. It was built in 1839 by James and John Grant, and was a huge facility for its time. Its size increased exponentially over time, in the hands of John’s son, John “The Major” Grant (who also built the short-lived Caperdonich next-door), and twice in the 1970s following the merger with The Glenlivet Distillers and its subsequent takeover by Seagram. Glen Grant was bottled as a single malt as early as the late-19th century, and developed a global export market. None perhaps as important as in Italy, where their agent in the 1960s, Armando Giovinetti, turned it into the nation’s favourite whisky, after discovering the palate preferences of his countrymen for very young single malts. So loved is Glen Grant in Italy, that the distillery is now owned by Gruppo Campari, who bought it from Pernod Ricard in 2006.

An independent bottling of Glen Grant from The Whisky Agency in Germany. A single malt distilled in 1998 and bottled 25 years later after being matured in a hogshead.  One of 233 bottles.
