Glen Grant 1970-1999 - Berry Bros & Rudd - Berrys Own Selection - Single Cask 1027
Glen Grant 1970 - 1999. Bottled by Berry Brothers for their Berrys' Own Selection. Cask number 1027. 70cl. 43%.
A lovely old bottle of Glen Grant 1970, this was a single cask released by the gentlefolk of Berry Bros & Rudd back in 1999. Bottled at 43%, this is a delicious, classical mediumweight after-dinner Speyside sipper, but its gentle mouthfeel masks a startling depth of flavour, with apples, cooked grapefruit, and stewed pears revelling on a bed of exquisite sherry flavours - think walnuts, mixed peel, Dundee cake and patisserie spices.
Founded in 1840, Glen Grant is one of Speyside’s largest and greatest distilleries. The distillery became part of Seagram’s Chivas Brothers group in the 1970s, and was subsequently acquired in 2001 by Pernod Ricard, who sold Glen Grant to Campari in 2006.
Glen Grant’s association with Italy goes back much further, however. Gordon & MacPhail were already licensed bottlers of Glen Grant in the 1960s when the two companies began a highly beneficial relationship with Italian hotelier and importer Armando Giovinetti which led directly to Glen Grant’s ongoing dominance of the Italian single malt market.
Glen Grant’s spirit is particularly well-suited to very long ageing in both bourbon and sherry casks, making it the perfect fit for Gordon & MacPhail who released a 72-year-old Glen Grant in 2020 and whose semi-official licensed bottlings of Glen Grant are legendary. Indie Glen Grants are abundant and are generally excellent value.
Founded in 1698, Berry Bros. & Rudd is the UK’s oldest wine and spirit merchant, with their iconic premises in St. James’ Street in London an institution in the drinks trade. Berry Brothers were among the first English merchants to bottle bespoke whiskies for sale in the 19th century and in 1923 they launched the Cutty Sark blended whisky which went on to great success in the United States in the post-Prohibition era.
Berry Bros continued to bottle single malt whiskies after WWII, with notable examples from Longmorn, Macallan, Glen Grant and Laphroaig (among others) occasionally cropping up at auction today. Since the late 1990s the company has expanded its spirits operations, briefly owned the rights to the Glenrothes single malt brand after selling Cutty Sark in 2010, and now have an adventurous range of expertly-selected single malts, blended malt whisky and rums.
