The Glen Grant 15 Year Old Review

This single malt may be bottled at 15 years old, but it has a pleasantly youthful profile. It smells like sweet cake batter infused with light flowers and citrus, and the palate serves sweetness with a rounded, malty flavor. At 50 percent ABV, the alcohol content is spot on, making each sip lively but never overwhelmingly hot.
