Glen Grant Distillery
Rothes,
Morayshire

Owner: Campari
Creation date 1840

Photos

The Glen Grant distillery is named after its two founders, James and John Grant.
The youngest, James was judge and banker. Both decided to build a distillery in Rothes in 1840.
After their death, the son of James, the Major James Grant took over the business, and built another distillery on the other side of the road and named it Glen Grant 2. In the meanwhile, it has been renamed in Caperdonich. The two distilleries were linked up by a pipeline transporting the whisky from Glen Grant 2 to Glen Grant.
A local legend says that the inhabitants of Rothes have invented a stratagem to reroute a part of the whisky for themselves, taking it directly from the pipe-line.
When the major died, is grand son, Major Douglas Mackessack took over the distillery and made it one of the best and most famous distilleries of Scotland.
Glen Grant was obliged to close its doors during the two world wars, because of a lack of barley, just like most distilleries in those days.
In 1953 Glen Grant joined together with George & J.G. Smith, owners of The Glenlivet. In 1972 the group merged with the Longmorn distillery. This was the birth of The Glenlivet Distillers Ltd. The latter has been bought in 1978 by Seagram.
The distilleries belonging to the "Chivas and Glenlivet Group", property of Seagram, were bought by the Pernod-Ricard group on 19 december 2001.
The Glen Grant single malt is very popular in Italy, and is also available at some independent distillers. Gordon & MacPhail sell some vintages. The distillery is very nice to visit, because of its wonderful gardens, in colonial style.
The Glen Grant distillery has been sold in 2006 to the Italian group Campari as a result of the acuisition of Allied Domecq by Pernod Ricard. The French group did not want (or was not authorized) to keep all the distilleries in their portfolio, and took distance from Glen Grant, Laphroaig and Bushmills amongst others.

The nose recalls apple hints, and the whole has a slightly acid character, which is far from unpleasant. A finish of average length, and the whole is a whisky with a good quality-price ratio.
74/100
A second tasting did not change anything to the first impression concerning this malt. A slightly malted after-taste following the slightly acid apple hints characterize the finish. A nice bottle, not really the best one...
74/100
A quite fruity nose, without complexity nor surprise. In the palate, a rather fresh whisky, with some fruit dominance too, but quite linear and leaving an impression of a clear lack of power. An average finish, slightly acid and without much depth.
74/100
A rather fresh nose, very frutiy but without complexity. Ripe apples with a touch of tangerine (or at least some sweet citrus fruit). In the palate, a certain lack at character, fruity notes, ripe apple. An impression of "watery alcohol" . A fruity finish, relatively long and a slight bitterness after a while.

  The nose is rather discrete. A malt domination is felt by the palate. A lack of complexity is also characteristic of this whisky. A short finish, and the whole results is a rather common whisky. I consider this bottling as a second rate whisky.
70/100
The conclusion of the second tasting was completely different. The nose is rather rich, with smoky hints and a strong domination of toasted barley. The taste is pleasant and the finish has an average length. The alcohol does not hinder the appreciation of this malt.
84/100
The third tasting was much like the second one. Still a rich nose, with a hint of smoke and some hints of citrus fruit. In the mouth, a mix of citrus and malted barley on a fruity background (pear spirit). A rather short finish where the memory of the fruit remains quite present.
84/100
The nose is lightly fruity, pear or apple, but nice spicy, peppery hints come over after a while. A rather complex sweetness. In the mouth, a nice attack, marked by both citrus fruits (orange and lemon) and a nutty taste which remains on the backgroune. A lingering and warm finish, between the fruit and discrete wood.

 The colour is amber. The nose is rich, with a hint of smoke. The rather balanced taste gives an impression of fullness, with some after taste marked by candied sugar.
The finish is long with cinnamon touch
 A real explosion of fragrances at the very first nosing... announces immediately an exceptional whisky. I found all the richness of a whisky matured in sherry casks, like Macallan. This cask strength is easier to taste after having added some water. An exceptional finis. A very great bottle. An expensive one as well...
84/100
A second tasting confirmed the first one. However, the richness of the fragrances and the taste, the delicacy of the finish, despite an evident sherry domination, the very great pleasure I had drinking this exceptional malt made me change my first quotation.
88/100
This remains a wonderful bottle. A very rich nose, mixing sherry, wood and smoke. In the palate, the sherry is rather present, but does not hide the other aromas, chocolate and tobacco a. o., which make this bottle a great bottle. A very long finish, with smoke, wood, chocolate and a lot of joy.
88/100
The nose expresses a rare complex intensity, with very nice hints of ripe fruits, citrus and a refined woody impression on the background. Pepper and spices are not missing neither. A very nice balance as far as the nose is concerned. In the palate, a mx of woody and fruity (apple and citrus) touches give an excellent impression of contrast between the wood bitterness and the fruit sweetness. A nearly perfect balance between contradictory aromas. A very nice finish, lingering and warm, leaving a memory of dry fruits.

The nose is both fruity and spicy and reveals exotic fruits and apples on a quite woody background with some remote slightly acid hints. The nose announces a remarkable complexity. The palate is on the same level, and some beautiful woody hints appear first, before leaving some room to nice smooth fruity touches. A very great finish, very long and recalling essentially the nice woody and pleasantly bitter character of this exceptional bottle.
88/100
The nose reveals delicate woody notes and discrete fruity hints. A nice balance, with a touch of smoke behind. The mouth is dry, rather complex, with a mix of fruits and light hints of woody bitterness. The finish is long, marked by a slight bitterness too.

Glen Grant 10 ans Provenance
Light, greenish gold in colour, it is good and mellow, a little toffee-nosed - a young aristocrat so to speak. It has a light, medium weighted body with a palate carrying sugary and butterscotch overtones.This leads to a fine upperclass finish which is sweet and long lasting.
(Note by the producer)
A very fruity nose, ripe appel and pear, melon. An impression of great sweetness. In the mouth, nice contrasts between the sweetness announced by the nose and some slitghtly acid hints, green apple an cut grass. The finish is slightly behind the expectations with some acid touches and discrete woody, or at least a bit bitter hints.
79/100
A fruity nose, ripe apple, very smooth. In the palate, smoothess still dominates, mixing fruity and slightly woody notes. A great freshness too. The finish is interesting, but it's nothing to write home about...
79/100

Colour: Straw
A fresh nose, dominated by a nice mix of cut grass and ripe yellow fruit. Some wax notes give an interesting complexity. Other odors are added after some moments, like strange keys meat juice mixed with floral notes.
The mouth is first rather discrete, contrasting sharply with the nose and first impressions are fruit before taking a strange twist, mixing a strange bitterness (suze) and fruity notes.
The finish prolongs perfectly the mouth. This strange bitterness dominates long enough for a relatively neutral final.
The nose was very promising, too bad the mouth and final are not the same ilk.

A very nice nose marked by sherry with woody hints. Very nice balance announcing an interesting complexity in a pleasant smoothness. This mouth is rather surprising, as it is not on the same palette as the nose was. Rather rough and first very bitter, with lots of woody notes, a touch of acidity and quite an alcohol impression. It developes slowly to balance, but the mouth is clearly less interesting than the nose. The finish is relatively long, with the same woody bitterness. This bottle deserves certainly a new chance after a few days, in the hope the aeration will fade the dominance of woody hints and present more pleasant aromas.

Colour: Deep golden orange.
Nose: Sherry and ripe fruit aromas with a delicate perfumed note.
Body: Smooth.
Palate: Sherry wood with dry, herbal flavours and a touch of peat smoke.
Finish: Drying.
A nose slightly dominated by refined woody hints and some nice touches of sherry, together with floral and spicy hints. No aggressiveness at all, a very nice balance and a very pleasant complexity.
In the palate, a very fine and elegant woody bitterness seems to dominate nice sherry hints. After a while some chocolate notes and spices appear, giving the drinker a great pleasure.
The finish is exceptionally long and pleasant, with its touches of walnut a its sherry hints.

A remarkably balanced nose. Sherry, plum, ripe fruits, nice complexity. All the fragrances mix harmoniously to make a general pleasant impression. Great smoothness without concession. The nose is close to perfection.
The mouth expresses the same complex smoothness, with it's sherry notes, hints of ripe fruit ant this nice light chocolate bitterness, and here also an amazing balance.
The finish is exceptionally long. After the first chocolate notes and the nice sherry memories, some woody bitter notes appear and remain for long minutes.
This is a marvellous whisky!

A clearly sherry marked nose with plum and coffee hints. Quite an expressive nose.
In the palate, sherry is dominating again with a light touch of bitterness developing on coffee hints, drawn in the sherry. A very light touch of wood as well. A remarkable whole.
The finish is obviously sherryish. Lingering and pleasantly warm.
The impressions of the first tasting are more than confirmed.

The very first nose is pure sherry... A very nice fresh and fruity sherry. But not only sherry... A real fragrance explosion. This announces a very nice tasting. Plum, walnut, some vanilla, ripe pear, etc all jumbled up together.
The mouth confirms the nose impressions, with this mix of bitterness and acidity. Unripe walnuts, sherry, a touch of citrus fruit, then chocolate and sherry again. A touch of alcohol...
The finish is amazingly complex and lingering. Here also... sherry, chocolate and walnuts. Light bitterness and freshness.
Just happiness...!

Glen Grant 27 Bladnoch
An extremely nice nose, both floral and fruity. Ripe fruits (pear, red berries) and light hints of sherry. This nose is both very pleasantly perfumed and deliciously complex.
In the palate, the nice fruity character shares the attention with slightly woody notes which make the mouth rather dry, while keeping this nice complexity as announced by the nose.
The finish is pleasant, even though a little bit too dry and slightly woody. However, all nuances from the mouth are kept here, even if one could regret this woody dominance.
Anyway, another great Bladnoch bottling.

The nose is immediately filled by fruity smoothness. Peach, pear contrasting with some discrete smoky hints and a touch of bitterness. Complex nose and very pleasant balance.
The mouth is fruity too. Green fruit. Green apple and a great freshness. No hinder at all due to the high percentage of alcohol.
The finish is long and very fresh. The memory of the green apple mixed with some acid drop impressions stays for long minutes.
An excellent vintage.

Rich, dark mahogany colour. Wonderful sherry nose with floral notes. Full bodied with hints of banana, chocolate and of course sherry and vanilla. Warm, lingering aftertaste.

(sample received during a visit to Hart Brothers)

 A superb nose mixing sherry and cut grass. A touch of light bitterness and a discrete hint of smoke appear after a few seconds.
In the palate, first impression is a woody bitterness, a very nice feeling of deepness marrying nicely with the sherry notes which are clearly present.
The finish mixes amazingly the wood and the sherry, in a perfect balance.

A remarkable nose, where a perfect balance between sherry and wood announces a marvelous whisky. On the background, some notes of smoke and a touch of fruits, but this hints are clearly dominated by the couple sherry-oak. Despite this clear dominance, lots of subtlety and a marvelous complexity. The mouth would even have been better without dilution, but it remains a very good whisky. Just like during the nosing, the association oak-sherry dominates clearly the other aromas, but this whisky remains very subtle and complex. The finish is on the same palette as the mouth and the nose, oak and sherry, subtle other hints. I dare not imagine this bottle at cask strength. It would have been nearly perfect.

Such a spicy nose is rather unusual. Sherry hints, lots of pepper, some wood, a touch of liquorice and ripe fruit announcing a great whisky.
In the palate, the first impression is some clear acid bitterness, hints of yeast and wood developing slowly on better balance. The first sip is quite deceiving, but fortunately develops well.
The finish is very long, nicely balanced between the memories of the fruit and those of the wood. Nicer than the mouth was.
Nose and finish are excellent, palate is just good.

A powerful and pleasant nose where dry fruit and discrete sherry mix with a touch of wood and some hints of polish.
The mouth is very pleasant as well and nicely complex even if it is less powerful than the nose was. A fruity impression (plum jam) and a quick development on chocolate notes and a (growing) touch of wood . A very nice bottle.
The finish prolongs perfectly the mouth and this impression of woody chocolate remains for minutes.
Another excellent quality-price ratio.

A real sherry-monster at nosing, with a nice influence of wood and hints of mint, chocolate and a pleasant slight bitterness. In the palate, the mix of sherry with slightly woody notes gives this whisky a nice character, even if sherry is clearly dominating. Niec complexity, excellent whisky for sherry lovers. The finish is long and warm, prolonging exactly the mouth feeling, and with the same sherry domination

Color: Gold
The first nose is quite aggressive, with this obvious alcohol betrayed by tingling. This first impression fades after a few moments to make room for an impressive smell made of fruit and wood. Presence of solvents, but obvious domination of this elegant fruity-woody mixture. A perfect balance. Notes of hazelnut complete the picture.
The palate is very complex, traveling between the initial acid notes to some great nutty notes with a pleasant and noble bitterness. A perfect balance between the various components.
The finish is long and warm, and always this balance between wood, walnut and discreetly fruity notes.
A whisky to taste. Not really "easy drinkable" but exceptionally rich if you make the effort to appreciate it.

Glen Grant 1958-2008

Comment by
Henrik Johansson

Background: This Glen Grant, distilled 1958 and bottled 2008 by Gordon & MacPhail is a Single Cask (Sherry butt No. 3811) whisky which was sold exclusively to Sweden. It's limited to the 361 bottles which that particular cask yeilded.

Date of tasting: 17/8 2008
Apperance: Old oak, almost like brown sherry
Nose: A very round and mellow nose with extraordinary complexity. I expected a whisky this old to be very tired and overly oaky, but it suprises in many ways. Immediately detectable are some musty aromas, old wood, pencil ink and fresh spices, almost a whole spice rack in there. There are also some dried fruits, but less than in many younger sherry matured whiskies I've tasted in the past. Chocolate pralines and bitter almond are also present. One of the mos! t satisfying noses I've experienced ever.
Body: Medium
Palate: Huge palate, truly epic. If the nose was great, this is even better. There are of course lots of wood associated flavours in there, but again less than expected in such an ancient dram. It fills the mouth in a wonderful harmony of powerful flavours. It's not tired in any way. First there's some sweet liqorice, then ginger and dry oak, then spices, dried herbs and deep nutty flavours and chocolate pudding. The finish is very, very long and develops a slightly bitter tingle like very dark chocolate, but only hints of it. A magic dram with staggering complexity and smoothness, yet intensity of flavours. Truly an ace and much better than expected.

Speyside

Speyside Map

The Speyside area is situated at the North of the Cairngorm mountain and goes to the Moray firth. It is delimited by two rivers: the Findhorn at the West side and the Deveron on the East side.
The area is named after the river Spey. Most of the distilleries take their water in one of its affluents; the Fiddich, the Livet or the Avon.
About sixty distilleries from Speyside are described on this site.
