History and production of Glen Grant Malt Whisky 10 years:
As with many other distilleries in Scotland, the story of Glen Grant began illegally. The two brothers John and James Grant were actually smugglers and moonshiners, but decided to apply for a license in 1840. They chose the small town of Rothes, on the banks of the River Spey, as the distillery location. The nearby barley fields, the easily accessible port in Garmouth and, last but not least, the clear waters of the Spey made Rothes an ideal location for whisky distillers.
A lot has happened at Glen Grant since then. The owners have changed frequently; Glen Grant currently belongs to the Italian Campari Group. With currently eight stills and an annual output of almost six million litres, Glen Grant is now one of the largest distilleries in Scotland.
The Glen Grant Malt Whisky 10 years is part of the distillery's standard range and is considered one of the most popular single malt whiskies ever. It matured for at least ten years in selected ex-bourbon barrels made of American oak and has a fruity, spicy aroma and taste profile.
Please also note that this Glen Grant Malt Whisky 10 years is the exclusive special bottling with a content of one litre, which is actually only available in the Travel Value.

A light oak spice has a complementary effect.
On the tongue, the Glen Grant Malt Whisky 10 years presents a powerful start and a medium-long body. The taste profile is characterized by the combination of fruitiness, sweetness and light spice. Apples and pears come to the fore again, baked bread, vanilla, heather honey and gingerbread form a sweet counterpart. The spiciness mentioned is carried by intense herbal and spicy notes as well as oak and tannins.
