Description

Considered among the finest of the Speyside malt distilleries and one of the few of its age to still be family-owned. J&G Grant became its sole shareholders in 1898 and continue to run it in a traditional manner, notably using direct-fired stills to create a rich, weighty spirit. This 40 Year Old is the pinnacle of the distillery's core range of age statement whiskies, matured for four decades almost solely in sherry casks.
