History
Glen Grant 12 Year Single Malt Scotch is a unique spirit that has been aged for twelve years at the Glen Grant distillery, near Dufftown in Speyside. It was founded in 1840 by John and James Grant, who had previously been employed at the Aberlour Distillery. Glen Grant's unique location had access to fresh water from the river, a steady supply of barley from the surrounding farmland, and access to transportation from the nearby port, allowing it to prosper quickly. By 1872, however, both John and James Grant had passed away, and the younger Grant, known as "the Major," quickly proved himself a worthy successor. He was the first person in the Scottish Highlands to own a car, and his distillery was the first in Scotland to enjoy electricity. He is also responsible for designing and equipping Glen Grant distillery with the tall, slender stills and purifiers that allowed Glen Grant to produce a whisky that was noticeably lighter and more delicate compared to its Scottish brethren. It is made from crisp, Scottish barley, much of it still harvested from the same Moray shire fields that John and James Grant used nearly two centuries ago. Once the barley has been malted and mashed, it is fermented in washbacks made of Oregon Pine. While wooden washbacks are more expensive and difficult to maintain compared to stainless steel washbacks, they absorb more heat generated during the fermentation process and thus create a lighter and richer whisky. Following fermentation, the wash is twice distilled, first through Glen Grant's copper-pot wash still and then again through its spirit still. Each still is equipped with a purifier, which acts as a small condenser and causes a portion of the evaporating vapors to be pumped back into the pot and then re-distilled. This purification process makes Glen Grant the only distillery in Scotland to use purifiers in both distillations, and the result is a whisky that has a signature fresh and malty flavor. It is one of the most brilliant whiskies in the Glen Grant lineup and was named Scotch Whisky of the Year in Jim Murray’s 2017 Whisky Bible.
