Producer Description
"Get up close and go under the microscope with Chapter Nine of Whiskyland. It's a beautiful 2nd fill barrel of 'Gone Grant' single malt, a beautiful whisky from a sadly lost distillery that rhymes with 'tap her scone twitch'.
Distilled in 1994, aged for 30 years and bottled at natural cask strength. This is a whisky about beauty, finesse and detail. The kind of surprising detail and fascinating beauty you find when you put Whiskyland under a microscope. Join us in a world of Dramblemites, old outbid notification emails and strange matter..."

"Some label! Also a characteristic touch of whimsy from the house, which refers to Caperdonich as ‘Gone Grant’, in reference to its former status as the twin of Glen Grant, also known as Glen Grant 2, and thus indeed the Glen Grant that is now departed, of the two. Well, you see what they’re getting at. Incidentally, we already adored their 31/1993 (Sponge). Colour: pale gold. Nose: do you know what? It takes me straight back to those early 1970s Caperdonichs bottled by Duncan Taylor, proper fruity bombs absolutely crammed to the rafters with papayas, guavas, mangos and bananas. All of which is steeped in honey and natural vanilla. With water: full of wee church candles, amen. Mouth (neat): let’s be swift about it, this could easily pass for a 1960s or 1970s Balblair or Benriach. Bananas drizzled with honey, pollen, gentle mentholated glimmers, beeswax, a touch of praline, white clover… With water: same again, not much deviation, save for a touch more citrus and some far-off whispers of Grande Champagne. Or Petite. Finish: gentle, fairly rounded, medium in length but growing ever fruitier than actual fruits. Cheeky jellybeans and babies in the aftertaste, which is rather unexpected at thirty years of age. Comments: all the beauty of a good old refill! Still very partial to this style, must be our inner child speaking."

Producer Description
"Whiskyland Chapter 18 takes place in one of Whiskyland's many hybrid library bars. In fact, no one is particularly sure whether they are bars with large reading selections, or libraries that serve drinks. It doesn't do to ponder these unanswerable questions too deeply. Best to just pour a generous measure of this rather sublime 1994 'Gone Grant' single malt that underwent a 4 year secondary maturation in a fresh sherry hogshead, select something intellectually nourishing to read, and occasionally glance out of the window at the Whiskyland night sky."
