Single Malts from the 1950’s are getting harder and harder to procure. It is a excellent value 1952 Glen Grant Single Malt bottled at 44 years of age.
Nose: Old tea chests, wood polish, sherry soaked sultanas, smoked orange rind, maltesers without the chocolate, chestnut puree, buttery oak, figs in honey and dried dates.
Palate: Malty horlicks, greek honey, a whole lot of dried fruit character, dry and nutty oak, chestnuts, truffles, star anise and fig jam.
Finish: Dry and malty with antique cedar oak at the side of some notes of honey, anise, ripe fig and nutty sherry.
Amazing that such an old whisky retains as much elegance as this, an actual blast from the past style of Speyside that may be like your taste buds have travelled back in time and there’s something fairly magical tasting whisky from before one was once born.
