Glen Grant is a textbook case in the history of the Scotch whisky industry. For decades (and still to this day), the distillery's official label was found on both independent bottlings and the distillery's own bottlings. Some of the most active independent bottlers in the 50s and 60s included Gordon & MacPhail, Campbell, Hope & King (which also worked with Macallan for the bottling and distribution of its malt), Cadenhead, Robert Watson and R Moray Bonding. The result is a multitude of available versions, making it an enthralling dram to collect. As Glen Grant was a blender's malt (Chivas Regal, 100 Pipers, etc.), its owners concentrated on a more classic maturation method characterized by bourbon. Gordon & MacPhail for their part decided to specialize in versions aged exclusively in ex-sherry casks. It was a smart move and their vintages casks became highly prized by whisky enthusiasts and collectors across the world.
A 1980s Glen Grant imported to Italy by René Briand. Glen Grant is a great classic in Italy and the distillery has been owned by Gruppo Campari since 2006. Its popularity came in large part from the young 5 Year Old vintages imported by Armando Giovinetti. Glen Grant 10 Year Old is another bottling whose first editions in square-shaped bottles were released in the 1960s.
