1985 Douglas Laing & Co. XOP Xtra Old Particular Glen Grant 35 Year Old Single Cask Limited Release Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Glen Grant has a reputation for gracefully ageing over many decades, and this indie expression from Douglas Laing's Xtra Old Particular series should demonstrate just that. At well passed three decades of maturation in a single refill hogshead from July 1985 to June 2021 and bottled at cask strength, expect something quite special. We have a tiny allocation from what was a very small outturn of 183 bottles. 55.5% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.

Notes from the bottlers... A spicy, damp oak style gives way to mocha and raspberries with a dark toffee sweetness on the nose. The palate is thick and moreish... Treacle, chocolate coated raisins and ginger balanced by a buttery barley character. From allspice to Espresso, juicy plums and orange zest, the finish lingers wonderfully.
