Famous independent bottler Gordon & MacPhail<\/a> has launched an exclusive collection which focuses on six consecutive years from the Glen Grant Distillery and it sounds particularly yummy if you want my opinion\u00a0<\/strong>(which you probably want if you read this blog…)<\/em>!<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The limited-edition Gordon & MacPhail<\/a> Glen Grant Collection offers consumers the opportunity to explore six rare and exquisite expressions from the historic Speyside distillery with a vintage selected for each year between 1950 and 1955.<\/p>\n

Since the founding of the business, Gordon & MacPhail<\/a> has sent casks to distilleries throughout Scotland to be filled with new make spirit, before being matured under the custodianship of generations of the Urquhart family. Developing relationships with distilleries across Scotland throughout the company\u2019s history, the whiskies in Gordon & MacPhail\u2019s Glen Grant Collection are uniquely labelled using the original distillery labels.<\/p>\n

Featured in the collection are two award winning whiskies. The Rare Vintage Glen Grant 1954 <\/a><\/strong>won a double gold award at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2017 and a gold medal in the International Spirits Challenge 2017. The Rare Vintage Glen Grant 1952<\/strong><\/a> was recognised by Jim Murray in 2017 with the accolade for Single Malt 41 Years & Over (Multiple Casks).<\/p>\n

Stephen Rankin, director and member of the fourth generation of the Urquhart family who own Gordon & MacPhail, said: \u201cBy creating this collection, we have captured a unique piece of Scotland\u2019s liquid history, bringing together a combined 353 years of knowledge, expertise, and whisky maturation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith six whiskies aged between 57 and 61 years old, this collection is a testament to the company\u2019s ability to nurture aged expressions.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Gordon & MacPhail has a long-standing relationship with Glen Grant; a landmark Rothes distillery built in the 1840s overlooking the River Spey. Today, Glen Grant is famed for its unique, almost square section to the stills that lead to a deliciously light, fruity, and gentle character.<\/p>\n
