This Glen Grant 10 year old single malt whisky is a superb malt that has matured has matured in sherry casks, it is golden in colour with hints of barley on the nose and sweet on the palate.
Glen Grant distillery was founded in 1840 by two brothers who were previously involved with illicit distilling (a common practice in the region). In 1861 electricity was installed, a start to the almost constant modernisation and growth of this famous distillery.
In 1973 the number of stills was increased from 4 to 6, and again in 1977 from 6 to 10. Some of the older stills were until very recently coal fired. Glen Grant is a favourite in Italy, a result of good marketing in years gone by. It is also a major part of the Chivas Regal brands. Either sherry and/or bourbon casks are used for maturing the spirit.
