Glen Grant – 1936 Gordon & MacPhail 1980s (75cl, 40%)

This is a Glen Grant distilled in 1936, a Speyside single malt bottled by the independent bottler Gordon & MacPhail in the early to mid-1980s. It comes in a 75cl bottle at 40% abv, from a time when the whisky was close to its 50th year. It belongs to Gordon & MacPhail's run of bottlings from the 1936 vintage. The character is described as an unlikely mix of tropical fruit and candle wax, with farmyard notes and a hint of peat smoke running alongside.
