Gordon & MacPhail bottles 72YO Glen Grant Scotch 18th January, 2021 by Owen Bellwood Scotch whisky bottler Gordon & MacPhail will debut its 72-year-old Glen Grant single malt at a Bonhams Hong Kong auction later this month. Gordon & MacPhail has bottled a Glen Grant Scotch whisky from 1948 The Gordon & MacPhail 72 Year Old was distilled by Speyside producer Glen Grant in 1948. The whisky has since matured in an American oak ex-Sherry cask, which imparted ‘a deep amber hue’. On the nose, the whisky has aromas of Christmas cake moistened with oloroso Sherry, with a slightly burnt base. On the palate, drinkers will find ‘a sweet taste at the start and a tannic, dry kick to finish with a surprising punch of spice, whispers of espresso and deep dark chocolate’.
