Glen Grant 1950 75cl

Distilled over 70 years ago and probably bottled in the late 1980s. The capacity measure is 75cl and Gordon & MacPhail switched from 75cl to 70cl bottles in 1991. So this Glen Grant 1950 was aged for around 40 years in mainly old sherry casks, as there were few bourbon casks available in the 1950s.

Taste

Long and full oily. What an experience.
