This approach preserves Glen Grant’s famously delicate and fruit-forward character while gradually layering in richer notes of nuts, cream, spice, and dried sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eGlen Grant Distillery is known for producing one of Speyside’s most elegant and approachable styles, typically bright, orchard-fruit driven, and floral in profile. The refill maturation allows that distillery character to remain intact, while the Oloroso finish adds weight and texture without overwhelming the spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOn the nose, warm baked shortbread and pistachio shells create an inviting, softly nutty opening. The palate becomes fuller and more luxurious, delivering apple turnover, double cream, and buttery pastry richness, balanced by gentle spice and soft oak. The sherry influence remains poised rather than dominant, contributing structure and depth rather than heavy sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe finish is exceptionally long and satisfying, lingering with sweet cashew nuts, creamy malt, and soft spice that gradually fades into warming oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBottled at cask strength (56.1% ABV), with natural colour and without chill filtration, this is a whisky that combines maturity, richness, and elegance in equal measure. With an outturn of just 167 bottles, it’s a limited release that showcases Glen Grant in a deeper, more indulgent style while retaining the distillery’s hallmark finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA beautifully balanced Speyside malt - creamy, nutty, and richly textured, with long-aged elegance throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"North Star","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57106309579127,"sku":"NSS-GGT-18-561","price":99.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0428\/1722\/4864\/files\/north-star-spirits-glen-grant-18-year-old-1.png?v=1779274804","url":"https:\/\/topwhiskies.com\/products\/north-star-spirits-glen-grant-18-year-old","provider":"TopWhiskies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
