Glen Grant 1963 50 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Glen Grant 50 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky was distilled in October 1963 and matured for a half-century in a single sherry cask. The whisky represents the oldest expression from the Glen Grant Distillery ever produced. "Maturation cannot be rushed," says Dennis Malcolm, Glen Grant's Master Distiller. "Like people, casks mature at their own pace."� After its 50 year beautyrest, the whisky was bottled at cask strength in a hand-blown crystal decanter crafted by the Glencarin Crystal Company. In addition, each decanter (there are only 150 in the world) is hand engraved, hand numbered and finished with the number 50 in 18-carat gold lettering. The decanter also includes a certificate of authenticity signed by Dennis Malcolm, and every other craftsman involved in making the whisky. "When time teaches us something, we call it an experience," says Malcolm.

Distillery Information

Situated along the banks of the River Spey, the Glen Grant Distillery was founded in 1840 by John and James Grant, who had previously been employed at the Aberlour Distillery. Glen Grant's unique location — it enjoyed access to fresh water from the river, a steady supply of barley from the surrounding farmland and access to transportation from the nearby port of Garmouth — allowed it prosper quickly. By 1872, however, both John and James Grant had passed away, and James Grant Jr. — James' son and John's nephew — inherited the distillery. The younger Grant, known simply as "the Major," quickly proved himself a worthy successor.
