This bottling of a 25-year-old Glen Grant single malt was produced especially for WhiskyHerbst No.25 in Berlin. The whisky was distilled in 1998 and bottled in 83 bottles.
The Glen Grant Distillery is located in the heart of the Speyside region in the Highlands of Scotland. It was founded in 1840 by John and James Grant and quickly became known for its high quality whisky. The distillery has been in continuous operation since then. Already at the turn of the century the whisky was bottled as single malt.
Today the distillery belongs to the Campari Group and has an annual output of 5,900,000 litres. It has a 12.3t mash tun, 10 wash backs and 4 pairs of stills. Most of the whisky is stored in Bourbon casks, only about 10% is stored in Sherry casks.
In 2008 the 500.000 pound visitor centre was rebuilt at Major's Coachman's House, the surrounding garden was restored in 1995.
The Speyside lies in the north-east of the Highlands and is considered the centre of Scotland's whisky production. Around the towns of Elgin, Rothes, Keith and Dufftown there are more distilleries than anywhere else in Scotland, including big names such as Glenfarclas, Glenlivet, Macallan and many more.
Elegance and complexity are often cited as characteristic features of Speyside malts, but the variety of whiskies produced here is too great to speak of a single style.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
