This 1949 Glen Grant single malt whisky is beautifully presented in a wooden box. It was bottled in 2007 at 40%abv.
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.
