Overview
The Glen Grant brought something truly special to the Club in May 2023: a limited edition never-before-seen age statement, created exclusively for Members of The Whisky Club.
The Glen Grant 13 Year Old is the first ever collaboration from this distillery giant in its 180-year-old history.
Steeped in tradition, this is the ultimate Speyside dram brought to you by one of Scotland’s longest serving distillers, Master Distiller Dennis Malcolm. Born on distillery grounds in 1946, Dennis now has 62 years of whisky-making experience and the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire from the late Queen in thanks for his immense service to the Scotch whisky industry. It’s no wonder The Glen Grant is one of the most awarded distilleries not only in Scotland but in the world.
For this release, Dennis has hand-selected seventy-five casks of Vintages from 2008 & 2009. This marriage has been presented at a perfect 55% ABV, non-chill filtered and with its natural sparkling gold colour. In an explosion of baked patisserie goods, bright citrus and sweet apple decked with Victoria sponge cake and an oily spiced malt finish, this is Speyside in a glass.

The Glen Grant's History
