Single Malt Whisky 12 Year Old (700 ml)

Glen Grant's 12-year-old expression anchors itself in the Rothes subregion of Speyside, where the distillery draws water from the Ballintomb Spring—a source that has shaped the house style since 1840. The spirit matures for a minimum of 12 years in ex-bourbon casks, a regime that emphasizes the distillery's signature approach: minimal peat intervention and maximum fruit expression.

The house employs worm tub condensers during distillation, a copper-heavy contact that produces lighter, more delicate new make spirit. This technical choice—paired with the ex-bourbon maturation—yields a profile centered on orchard stone fruit and subtle oak vanilla rather than the heavier sherried or peated signatures common to other Speyside producers. The 12-year age statement allows sufficient wood integration without overwhelming the spirit's floral and citrus backbone.

Glen Grant's consistent availability and approachable ABV (typically 43%) position this as a reference point for Speyside's fruit-forward tradition, particularly for drinkers seeking clarity of distillery character over cask-driven complexity.
