Glen Grant, 21-Year-Old, Speyside, Single Malt Scotch Whisky (46%)
- Scotch Whisky
Description
The Glen Grant 21-year-old is matured in a combination of first and second-fill bourbon casks and ex-Oloroso Sherry casks. The nose has some lovely tropical fruit, akin to barbecued pineapple and tinned mango, flamed orange peel, and some sweet spices. The palate is wonderful, oily, and mouth-coating, with candied lemons and pears, honey, and vanilla cream character. It builds to a crescendo of dried fruits, cracked pepper, and nutmeg that linger on the palate. What a dram!

About this spirit
Glen Grant Distillery, Speyside
Barley
Barley is a key ingredient in the production of some of the world's most renowned spirits, particularly whiskey and Scotch whisky. Malted barley is used as the primary grain in many single malt and blended Scotch whiskies, where it contributes a distinct malty, nutty, and sometimes smoky flavour profile. In addition to Scotch, barley is also a staple in the production of Irish whiskey, where it often lends a smoother, creamier taste. The versatility of barley as a grain makes it a favorite for creating complex and deeply nuanced spirits cherished by enthusiasts worldwide.
