G&M Glen Grant 1952 Platinum Jubilee 70
$35,000.00
This whisky seems even more poignant now with Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's recent passing. Although a decade has passed, it doesn't seem so long ago when we launched the Gordon & Macphail Glen Grant 1952 Diamond Jubilee bottling with Michael Urquhart. Bottled from cask number 381, a first fill sherry butt, this 1952 Glen Grant was bottled after 70 years at 52.3%. 93pts Whisky Fun / 93.25pts Whiskybase.
Producer Description
"Honouring the Platinum Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The Gordon & MacPhail Private Collection 1952 from Glen Grant Distillery has spent the past 70 years maturing in a first fill Sherry cask. It was bottled on 6th February, the date of the Queen’s accession, and serves as a fitting tribute, exemplifying how character, patience and wisdom can mature over decades to deliver an exceptional legacy."

Glen Grant 15 Year
$96.99
Well, this is a clever addition to the range, isn't it? Fifteen years old and 50%. Wow. Colour us happy. If the team at Glen Grant realizes that higher abv in whisky like this has an appeal (mostly for textural reasons), why keep the rest of the range at 43%? Apparently, there are people out there that prefer their whisky at lower strengths. We've never met one, but I guess they're out there. Does that count as cryptozoology?
Anyway, let's celebrate the good! Great distillery, good expression, nice age statement, and a robust strength that suits the profile. Well done.

About the Mr. George Legacy Collection
"George Urquhart, or ‘Mr George’ as he was known, joined his father, John at the family business ninety years ago in 1933 and became a key advocate of single malt whisky at a time when most whisky went into blends. ‘The father of single malt’ as he’s been called, Mr George was a firm believer in the importance of guiding principles, passed down to future generations. The Third Edition in the Legacy range pays tribute to his beliefs and vision – and features whisky from our last ever cask from 1959."
Producer Description

This whisky is from Gordon & MacPhail’s last cask – from any distillery – from 1959."
Macbeth Collection Glen Grant 56 Year
$14,000.00
Part of a massive 42 bottle collection of whiskies wherein each release represents a character from MacBeth, which is a little-known off-broadway play by some guy named Bill Shakespeare.
This bad boy is one of the big ones. One of the six apex malts in the range. A 56-year-old single Sherry Butt of what is unquestionably a once-in-a-lifetime dram from Glen Grant that had an outurn of a mere 100 bottles. 92.0pts on Whiskybase
Producer Note: “It was imperative that King Duncan held the requisite status and gentle character. Over the many years we’ve been searching for casks, we have, on occasion, been fortunate to find those truly rare occurrences of whiskies of great age that retain great elegance.This Glen Grant, distilled on Speyside in 1965, fits the bill perfectly: the beautiful light fruit of the spirit, the suggestion of forest floor, dusty books...an abundance of sophisticated flavours that are created only after decades in the finest wood.”
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 48.2% abv.

"Perhaps the most dense and complex of these rich ecosystems are the Dunnage Jungles of Northern Whiskyland. Beneath the impenetrable Excel Spreadsheet Canopy there exists a intricate network of creatures and plant life; the beating heart of Whiskyland and a place that still reveals to us mysteries both beautiful and terrifying...
