An extremely rare, unique single malt, patiently aged in a single sherry butt for half a century. The long maturation yield to a robust, rich and perfectly balanced whisky with a delectable bouquet that enchants the senses. On 28 October 1963, Master Distiller Danis Malcolm - who at the time was a young man- hand filled a rather special cask which would slowly mature for five decades. But it wasn't until November 2013 when this exceptional whisky reached its peak and it was ready to be bottled. Glen Grant 50 years old is a limited edition. Only 150 bottles of this exclusive timeless collector were released worldwide. Presented in an elegant hand-blown crystal glass decanter that resembles the Glen Grant stills. Each decanter is hand-engraved, hand-numbered and decorated with the number 50. This bottle does not come with it's original box.

The distillery is located in Rothes, Speyside. The whisky is rated as one of the best in the world and owes its success to the fact that its owners introduced the whiskey as a single malt at an exceptionally early stage.Unlike some other single malts that are denser and stronger, Glen Grant is clear, fresh and light. What sets it apart from others can be explained by the unique distillation and purification process. Slow ageing in high-quality oak barrels gives the Glen Grant its unique colour, distinctly fresh & slightly fruity taste. It is not just a matter of time. A distinctive feature of the Glen Grant Distillery is the treatment of the barrels, which are carefully hand-selected and used only a few times.
