About this spirit

Glen Grant Distillery, Speyside

Glen Grant, founded in 1840, is widely considered to be one of the finest single malts whiskies and is one of the few named after its original owner, Major James Grant, who also built Glen Grant No2 (later renamed Caperdonich Distillery) across the road. The distilley used to belong to the Chivas and Glenlivet Group, property of Seagram, was bought by the Campari group in 2006. A classic Speyside malt, Glen Grant has a range of incarnations, ranging from the well known younger versions, to the complex and stylish single vintage malts. Tastewise, it characteristically exudes nuttiness: hazelnuts when young, and almonds when aged. A world class brand, with a particularly strong following in Italy, and an important component of the blended Whiskies of Chivas Regal.

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.
