The Glen Grant 21 Year Old Review
Sometimes great whisky is just great whisky. That’s the case here as this classic Speyside single malt is matured in ex-Oloroso and ex-bourbon barrels for a little over two decades in the distillery’s traditional dunnage warehouses. There’s unmistakable peaches and cream on the nose, while the palate is more dark, dried fruits with crème brûlée. If there’s anything to write home about, it’s the solid value you get for such age.
