1992 Glen Grant 26 Year Old SMWS 9.171 Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 700ML

A rare single cask bottling from the Scotch Malt Whisky Society, distilled in 1992 and matured for 26 years in a refill ex-bourbon cask. Identified as Cask 9.171, this expression carries the SMWS signature style—full transparency in cask and strength, paired with unique, often playful cask names (this one famously dubbed “A double buttered old crumpet”). It represents classic aged Speyside: elegant, fruit-driven, and refined, with the long maturation adding depth without overpowering the distillate.

Distillery Information

Glen Grant, founded in 1840 in Speyside, is known for producing some of Scotland’s most elegant and fruit-forward single malts. Its tall stills and precise distillation create a lighter, more delicate spirit, ideal for long aging. The Scotch Malt Whisky Society (SMWS), established in 1983, built its reputation on releasing single cask, cask-strength whiskies with minimal intervention and distinctive character. Their coded system (distillery number + cask number) ensures focus on the individual barrel rather than branding. Long-aged Glen Grant casks from the early 1990s are especially respected for their balance of fresh fruit and matured complexity. This 26-year-old expression exemplifies that style—refined, expressive, and highly collectible among enthusiasts of independent bottlings.
