    An extraordinary and beautifully matured Speyside single malt, distilled at Glen Grant in 1949 and bottled after 50 years of patient maturation as part of MacLeod’s Extremely Rare range. Drawn from Cask No. 3447 and bottled at natural strength, this release is one of only 80 bottles ever produced — a testament to both rarity and exceptional ageing. The whisky displays the classic refinement of Glen Grant, offering layers of rich oak, honeyed fruit, and gentle spice developed over five decades in sherry wood. Each bottle is presented in a lockable wooden case, accompanied by a unique piece of the original cask in which it was matured, stamped with the corresponding bottle number — a tangible connection to the whisky’s remarkable history. A truly exceptional collector’s piece from one of Speyside’s most respected distilleries.

    Glen Grant

    One of the Speyside greats, Glen Grant was founded in 1840 by the managers of Dandelaith distillery, who both happened to be brothers with the surname of Grant. Today, the distillery is owned by the Italian Campari Group, where Glen Grant has traditionally enjoyed strong sales. For many years it remained in the Grant family, most famously with Major Grant at the helm and his legacy continues to this day. The distillery has always thought ahead of the pack, with electric lighting installed in 1861 making it the first in Scotland. In 1897, rather than expand internally, a second distillery was built next door which was called Glen Grant 2 until legislation prompted a name change. Glen Grant has always been able to offer a wide array of aged whiskies thanks to its well-managed inventory, its light and fruity style working extremely well with sherry casks, as highlighted by the strong support from Gordon & MacPhail.
