Glen Grant 1951
Yes you see correctly, this Glen Grant was distilled in 1951. 1951 saw the first television broadcast in the Netherlands, in black and white, of course. The black bakelite PTT telephone was also designed and, not unimportantly, Holland's greatest folk singer, André Hazes, was born in 1951. Meanwhile, the television has changed 'slightly' in over 70 years, the same goes for the telephone and André Hazes we only hear in the pub or on the radio.
Tasting note
Nose
Old leather, sweet nut mix, toffee, balsamic vinegar, dark chocolate, age in the form of mushrooms and damp woodland, as well as pipe tobacco and shag.
Taste
Wow, how beautiful is this, unlike any other whisky ever tasted. Full, spicy, round, balanced, but each time with different flavours expressed on the palate. Smoke, tobacco, tar, confiture, toast, sweets, toffee, apricot, marzipan, chocolate, red fruit, yellow fruit, ripe banana.
Finish
Medium-long, but what a nice flavour remains on the palate.
It is not exactly clear when this Glen Grant was bottled, but probably sometime in the mid-2000s, bringing the age to around 55 years.
Glen Grant Distillery
Glen Grant Distillery is located in Rothes, in the heart of Scotland's Speyside region. Founded in 1840 by brothers John and James Grant, the distillery has a long and rich history. Known for its innovative approach, Glen Grant became one of the first distilleries to use electric lighting in 1872.
A unique feature of Glen Grant is the use of water from the nearby Caperdonich spring, which contributes to the purity of their products. Glen Grant whiskies are known for their elegant, fruity and floral aromas, with notes of apple, pear, vanilla and a subtle hint of spiciness.
The whiskies are mainly matured in ex-bourbon casks, which ensures a refined and balanced flavour. Glen Grant is recognised worldwide for its consistency and quality. The combination of a rich history, innovative techniques and high-quality whiskies makes Glen Grant a respected name in the world of Scotch whisky.
