Once the barley has been malted and mashed, it is fermented in washbacks made of Oregon Pine. While wooden washbacks are more expensive and difficult to maintain as compared to stainless steel washbacks, they absorb more heat generated during the fermentation process and thus, create a lighter and more rich whisky. Following fermentation, the wash is twice distilled, first through Glen Grant's copper-pot wash still and then again through its spirit still. Each still is equipped with a purifier, which acts as a small condenser and causes a portion of the evaporating vapors to be pumped back into the pot and then re-distilled. This purification process — Glen Grant in the only distillery in Scotland to use purifiers in both distillations — results in whisky that has a signature fresh and malty flavor. Following distillation, Glen Grant Major's Reserve is matured in traditional oak casks until the whisky reaches the peak of perfection. The whisky earned the Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2013. In addition, the Whisky Bible said that Major's Reserve had a \"balance and quality nothing short of superb.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eGlen Grant Major's Reserve Single Malt Scotch Whisky Tasting Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNose:\u003c\/b\u003e Light golden color, along with an aroma of apples, bananas and fresh custard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePalate:\u003c\/b\u003e Notes of creamy vanilla, pound cake, malt and buttered biscuits dominate the palate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFinish:\u003c\/b\u003e Dry, nutty finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDistillery Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eSituated 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.
