Gordon & MacPhail reveals Glen Grant range

Gordon & MacPhail, has launched an exclusive collection that focuses on six consecutive years from a single distillery.

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

Since the founding of the business, Gordon & MacPhail 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’s history, the whiskies in Gordon & MacPhail’s Glen Grant Collection are uniquely labelled using the original distillery labels.

Stephen Rankin, director and member of the fourth generation of the Urquhart family who own Gordon & MacPhail, says: “By creating this collection, we have captured a unique piece of Scotland’s liquid history, bringing together a combined 353 years of knowledge, expertise, and whisky maturation.

“With six whiskies aged between 57 and 61 years old, this collection is a testament to the company’s ability to nurture aged expressions.”

Gordon & MacPhail has a long-standing relationship with Glen Grant.

The Glen Grant Collection is available in specialist whisky retailers at an RRP of £9,995 in the UK. A limited edition of 75 Glen Grant Collections will be available for sale in this first release.
