GLEN GRANT 1954 Single Cask G&M 53,1%

Single Malt Whisky, Scotland / Speyside, 70cl, Ref: COL18118

Exigeant, voilà l’adjectif qui définit le mieux ce Glen Grant qui, se refusant à faire le premier pas afin de préserver intacte son authenticité, demande au dégustateur de partir à sa rencontre. Exigeant, car il ne cesse de changer de rythme. Exigeant enfin, car il lui a fallu près de soixante ans pour devenir ce qu’il est : un single malt exceptionnel.

Tasting note

Nose : riche, concentré. Dès le premier nez, le ton est donné. Le sel; l'iode; la tourbe et la fumée répondent présents. Brora dans toute sa splendeur. Il évolue avec onctuosité sur l'orge maltée le foin coupé et le poisson fumé. Au plus profond, il dévoile des notes de pétrole, de granit et de macadam.
Palate : surpuissante et empyreumatique avec ses notes d'eucalyptus et de pin des Landes, elle est marquée par le camphre et le l'onguent. Marine, elle se développe sur le poisson fumé et l'huile de foie de morue. Quelques notes citronnées essaient bien de se frayer un chemin, mais elles sont vite saupoudrées de cendres.
Overall : vivifiante, tonique, elle nous emmène au beau milieu d'un champ de tourbe balayé par les embruns. Savoureuse.

The brand

The brand

Founded in 1840, Glen Grant for a long time remained the property of the Chivas Brothers group (Pernod Ricard), before winding up in the hands of the Campari group in 2005. Mainly matured in ex-bourbon casks and bottled as a five and ten year old, Glen Grant is a little known single malt, considering the production capacity of its distillery. Producing almost six million litres of pure spirit every year, Glen Grant has the fourth highest capacity in Scotland after Roseisle, Glenfiddich and Macallan. It’s known best amongst single malt amateurs for its first-fill sherry casks released by the independent bottler Gordon & MacPhail.

Merchant

This independent bottler is without a doubt one of the most highly acclaimed in Scotland. It stands out, not for its age (though it is the oldest independent bottler in Scotland), but for its complete mastery of cask ageing. Gordon & MacPhail is the only bottler to have its own casks - carefully chosen for the purpose - filled by the distilleries themselves, instead of simply buying the ones suggested to them by the latter. This allows it to determine, in advance and with great precision, exactly how many years a whisky will need to reach ideal maturation.

The line

The Book of Kells is a range by Scottish whisky specialists Gordon & MacPhail, which brings together its best whiskies and, since the 1970s, has generally been reserved for exclusive bottlings for a few long-standing customers, such as LMDW. The label of each bottle features a reproduction of an illumination from the famous 8th century manuscript, the Book of Kells. The illumination shows two people, ‘the Dram Takers”, sharing a glass. Hence the reason why the range is often referred to as the Dram Takers.
