Special features: This limited release from the Connoisseurs Choice Cask Strength series by Gordon & MacPhail presents the Glen Grant 2009 as a powerful single malt with intense character. A total of only 269 bottles of this 14-year-old whisky were filled, which matured in a refill sherry hogshead and was bottled on May 8, 2024. The cask strength of 56.9% allows for an authentic and unadulterated tasting experience, non-chill filtered and without the addition of coloring.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Fruity aromas of ripe apples and red berries, underlined with fine sherry notes and a hint of vanilla.
Palate: Smooth and full-bodied with sweet malt tones, fine spices, and a light oak note from the sherry cask.
Finish: Long-lasting, dry with an elegant spiciness and subtle fruit sweetness.
