Gordon & Macphail Gordon & Macphail Glen Grant Distillery 22 years 1997 750 ml

This is a 22-year-old single malt Scotch whisky distilled at Glen Grant, a Speyside distillery, and bottled by Gordon & Macphail, one of Scotland's most respected independent bottlers known for sourcing and aging casks from distilleries across the country. Distilled in 1997, it carries over two decades of cask maturation, which typically deepens a Speyside malt's characteristic light, fruity sweetness into richer notes of dried fruit, honey, and soft oak spice, with age tempering any rougher edges from the spirit. Independent bottlings like this often show a different side of a distillery than its own official releases. This is a bottle for whisky drinkers chasing depth and rarity rather than an everyday pour.

How to drink this 22 Year Glen Grant

A whisky with this much age deserves to be tasted neat, in a tulip-shaped glass that concentrates the aroma, before anything else. A few drops of water can help open it up if the proof feels closed off. This isn't a mixing whisky — the two decades in cask are the entire point.
