Glen Grant 1952 - Platinum Jubilee Release (Gordon & MacPhail)
Glen Grant
Tasting Notes
This exquisite Glen Grant 1952 single malt whisky, released by Gordon & MacPhail to commemorate the Platinum Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II, is a true masterpiece. Distilled in the same year as the Queen's coronation and matured for an astonishing seven decades in a first-fill sherry butt, it boasts a captivating aroma reminiscent of beeswax, honey-drenched figs, toffee, and zesty orange. On the palate, it unveils a delightful symphony of flavors, including stewed blackberries, sweet clementines, creamy milk chocolate, dried tobacco leaves, and a subtle hint of menthol. The finish is remarkably long-lasting, leaving a delicate trail of smoke and a gentle pepperiness on the tongue. With only 256 bottles available, this extraordinary whisky stands as a testament to the art of patient maturation and the enduring legacy of Scottish distilling craftsmanship.
