History behind the Speyside bottle
One of the best selling Speyside single malts, Glen Grant appeals with its gentle easy-drinking in youth, but shows fascinating depth when given age and/or sherry casks. A very light, creamy body holds orchard fruit, apples and pears, sweetened pear drops and a citrus touch. Violets and florals along with a grassy quality follow. Oak, autumn leaves and spices arrive with extra maturity.

Set in the town of Rothes in Speyside, Glen Grant is apparently the second highest selling malt whisky worldwide, and was one of the first whiskies to be marketed as a single malt. The founding brothers, John and James Grant, were well respected in the area, although John may have 'dabbled' in illicit distilling before establishing Glen Grant. James on the other hand was a pillar of the community becoming Lord Provost of Elgin and, during the establishment of the distillery, personally paying for significant expansion of the railway lines.
James's son, also named John but commonly referred to as 'The Major' in respect to his army rank, served in Africa and India before returning as an engineer to run the distillery from 1872. The Major was indeed a character, keen on hunting and new technologies; he established the first electrical lighting in the area which ran off the distillery's turbines, and may well have been the first person in the highlands to own a motor car. His input can be seen today at the distillery, not only in the design of the stills and unique purifiers at Glen Grant, but also in the plantlife at the gardens of the distillery. The flagship bottling from the distillery is named the 'Major's Reserve' in dedication to his life and contribution to Glen Grant.
It is these gardens at the distillery's estate that may well make it the most picturesque location in the whisky industry. Alongside tours and tastings at the distillery, visitors can wander through the beautifully sculpted landscapes in the acres behind Glen Grant, seeing the fruits of the Major's green thumb, and relax with a dram in a truly spectacular piece of Scottish countryside.
