Tasting Notes

About:

Independent bottler Chapter 7 Whisky released this Glen Grant 24 Year Old as part of their Monologue collection. Distilled in January 1998 and bottled in January 2022, this Speyside whisky was matured in a single bourbon hogshead (cask 6454), allowing Glen Grant’s elegant character to shine. Bottled at 51.1% ABV, with natural colour and no chill filtration, the cask yielded 254 bottles.
Appearance:
Light honey. Oily, with lots of little tears developing into parallel legs down the side of the glass.
Nose:
Buttery shortbread. Orchard fruits with apples and pears, together with a touch of lemon citrus. Golden syrup and oats. Oak, vanilla, and a little wood spice.
Palate:
Medium mouthfeel. Elegant, round, and characteristic of Glen Grant’s consistent quality. Sweet malt with red apples in early Autumn. Vanilla and honey cake with lemon zest. Gentle oak and warming wood spice. Alcohol is well integrated.
Finish:
Medium to long finish with apples, cereal, and just a touch of wood spice.
Comments:
An excellent Glen Grant where the quality spirit has been elegantly aged in an archetypal ex-bourbon style.
