Glen Grant 54 Year Old 1958 Gordon & MacPhail
Bottle Information
Tasting Notes
Filled on 3 April 1958 into a first-fill Oloroso sherry butt, the spirit slumbered in G&M’s Elgin warehouses for more than five decades before being released at a contemplative 43 % ABV. Bottled non-chill-filtered* and natural in colour, this venerable malt unveils an opulent tapestry of dark fruit, antique oak and refined rancio spice—an era-defining dram from Scotland’s most prolific independent bottler.
