About
Glen Grant distillery was founded by the Grant brothers, John and James, illegal distillers and alcohol smugglers, when they decided to take a license and build a distillery in 1840. After their death, the distillery was passed down to James “The Major” Grant, a legendary innovator and visionary. He was responsible for designing and setting up new tall slender stills and purifiers, which are responsible for producing a very elegant and refined spirit, that Glen Grant single malt is now most famous for.
Glen Grant Five Decades was specially crafted by Master Distiller Dennis Malcolm to celebrate and pay homage to his 5 decades of experience with Glen Grant. This Unique Selection of the Finest Vintages is the marriage of the most valuable Glen Grant casks from the past 50 years, carefully hand-selected to deliver the distinctive smooth, fruity and rich taste experience for which Glen Grant is renowned. Glen Grant Five Decades is a limited edition single malt scotch whisky, bottled at 46% alc/vol.
