Glen Grant 12 Year Old was added to the core range in 2016. The only release regularly seen in the UK was previously the 10 Year Old, so this is a welcome addition to the distillery's range. This is the travel-retail non-chill-filtered version – light and fruity with notes of apple pie, caramel, vanilla and subtle spice, 48% ABV.
Tasting Note
Nose: Orchard fruits open it up, with orange and apple. A touch of pastry and a dusting of icing sugar.
Palate: More rich, sweet red apple notes. Golden barley in the background.
Finish: Touches of almonds last on the finish.
