Glen Grant Distillery underwent a significant ownership transition in 2018 when the Edrington Group announced its sale in June. After six months of speculation, the new owner was revealed in December as Hansjörg Wyss, the Swiss billionaire behind luxury crystal house Lalique. This acquisition marked Lalique's entry into Scotch whisky ownership, though the company possessed substantial industry experience. From 2006 to 2016, Lalique collaborated with The Macallan, crafting exquisite crystal decanters for the distillery's prestigious single malt releases through its wine and luxury goods subsidiary, Art & Terroir. The sale severed Glen Grant's long-standing association with Edrington's Famous Grouse brand, which had operated a popular visitor center at the distillery known as the 'House of Famous Grouse.' Under new ownership, the focus shifted to rebuilding Glen Grant as a standalone premium single malt brand. Lalique's investment of £15.5 million secured a 50% stake in the distillery, including one million liters of mature cask stock. Glen Grant maintains distinctive traditional equipment, notably Scotland's only remaining manually-operated 1.05-ton open-top stainless steel mash tun. The distillery features eight Douglas fir washbacks with an exceptionally long fermentation period of up to 120 hours, and a pair of copper pot stills. While the 2019 production target was 190,000 liters of new spirit, the new owners aim to increase annual capacity to 500,000 liters within the next few years without installing additional equipment. Historically, Glen Grant produced a heavily peated expression called Ruadh Maor at 80 PPM, though no peated production was scheduled for 2019. The appointment of former Macallan Master Blender Bob Dalgarno in 2019 signaled a new era for the brand. Under his expertise, Glen Grant planned to launch several new products in 2020. The core range includes Glen Grant 10 Year Old, Glen Grant Sherry Cask, Glen Grant Triple Wood, and Glen Grant Peated. Limited releases comprise Glen Grant 29 Year Old, Cameron's Cut, Jamieson's Jigger Edition, and the distillery-exclusive Peated Drummond Edition—a cask strength whisky crafted from 100% peated malt.

First sniff brings to mind a bag of walnuts sat beside a dry, leathery armchair, with a hint of coal dust in the air. On the palate I get sourness like a splash of very old dry white wine, then a touch of cinchona and cough syrup that feels almost medicinal but in a fun way. There's a vegetal, dried porcini earthiness, a bit of rubber and green tannins, all rounded off by bitter chocolate and a whisper of white pepper. The finish is medium long, fino‑ish, with fresh mint leaves and a lingering walnut sweetness – quite extreme but oddly satisfying. 😄

Right, this dram hits me with a bone‑dry punch, bags of walnuts and a coal‑y edge, plus veggy dried porcinis and a whiff of eucalyptus leaves. There's a rubbery hint, plain ‘Vicks’, infused oak and white pepper giving it a quite extreme feel, plus bananas and their skin, sour apples and leathery meat. It’s surprisingly fun, a bit like tea with green tannins and a touch of gold warmth. 😎

Blimey, this one’s a proper rollercoaster. Starts off with a punch of sour apples and that ultra-dry sherry vibe, like biting into a crisp autumn apple straight from the tree. Then it hits you with this weird combo – hay and vegetal notes, almost like chewing on a handful of dried grass. The mid-palate’s got this leathery, rubbery texture, reminds me of an old armchair that’s seen better days. There’s a strange sweetness too, bananas and their skin weirdly enough, mixed with bags of walnuts and a splash of cough syrup. The finish? Dry as a bone, with green tannins and a hint of bitter chocolate lingering. White pepper sneaks in at the end, making me cough a bit, but in a good way. It’s like drinking a very old dry white wine that’s been left in a room full of eucalyptus leaves and coal dust. Not for the faint-hearted, but absolutely fun – like a night out in the countryside with a bottle of cider gone rogue. 🥃

开始喝的时候有点小刺激,像是带着点橡皮的涩感 🤔 然后慢慢展开...哇,真的能尝到那种熟透了的香蕉,连皮的粗糙感都有。 中段挺有意思的,有点像草药茶,还混着点干蘑菇和巧克力的苦香。白色胡椒的热辣感一阵一阵的,最后喉咙留下点薄荷似的清凉,有点像Vicks?哈,形容得有点怪但就是那感觉。 整体风格很干,有点接近雪莉酒但又复杂得多,带点酸苹果的活泼。余味挺长的,最后是皮革和坚果的味道,有点好玩的体验 👍

Bit of a wild ride this one. Starts off quite extreme, like chewing on fresh mint leaves and green tannins at the same time. Very vegetal, almost like dried porcinis got steeped in there. Then you get hit with white pepper and eucalyptus leaves – very leathery, honestly. Loads of walnuts come through, like they infused the oak with them. Then it flips to sour apples and bananas, not just once but twice – you even get the banana skin. A little lemon tries to cut through but it’s bone dry. Weirdest part? Midway it turns into cough syrup and plain Vicks. Actually kind of fun. 😄
