This Speyside single malt comes from Glen Grant, a distillery recognised for its clean, fruit-forward spirit and precise distillation style. Known for producing whiskies with bright barley character and refined maturation potential, Glen Grant has long been valued by independent bottlers for its clarity and consistency. Distilled in 1993 and bottled in Scotland in 2023 by Samaroli, this release was drawn from a single Ex-Bourbon cask - Single Cask #76702. The maturation in American oak adds notes of vanilla, light citrus, and gentle oak spice, allowing the distillate's natural Speyside character to remain at the forefront. This is a special edition, part of Samaroli's Magnifico Series, that reflects the bottler's focus on elegant, cask-driven expressions. Only 212 numbered bottles were released, each offering an unrepeatable snapshot of a single cask's evolution over three decades.
Tasting notes
Ripe fruit, honey, and gold notes create a rare balance. Zero acidity, instead a multi-layered structure with a subtle saline edge and a balanced interplay of sweetness and mild bitterness.
