DISTILLERY PROFILE
GLEN GRANT Est 1840
This iconic distillery was established in 1840 by James & John Grant who where manages of a distillery called Dandelaith, It did not take long for Glen Grant to become a favourite of whisky drinkers and blenders alike due to it’s rich smooth malt.
Around 1861 electricity was installed at the distillery making it the first to adopt this new technology, the Grant brothers innovated whisky production pushing towards its well deserved reputation at a fast pace.
Another distillery was built across the road from the original in 1897 only to close in 1902, this was common practice when a distillery demand outstripped supply only to settle back as more distilleries opened across the Speyside region and Scotland in general.
The capacity of this distillery runs around 6.000.000 litres with over half that amount going into blending because it’s such a great malt to give a fantastic middle palate to any blend.
It’s no surprise to customers who visit the shop that I champion this great dram given I can’t think of one vintage I don’t like!
If you enjoy visiting distilleries then this has to be one of the first on a list of Speysiders to enjoy a look around.

Until then have a great time and above all else keep laughing even through this dreadful time leading to the election! Can we really take much more of that?
For the 1000’s who still have tasting room tickets don’t forget from May we go permanently to 2 nights a week for the Trip Night tasting events, We will also be hosting a number of special tasting events as soon as we can allocate a day or two we will let you know via the newsletters and our web site.
We will give you more detail as soon as the tastings and out turn’s are confirmed in a few weeks and by then the rest of the range to come.
