The story of Glen Grant 12YO

Glen Grant is a Speyside distillery in Rothes, founded in 1840 by the brothers John and James Grant. Its best-known figure is Major James Grant, born in 1847, who took over from his uncle John and treated the distillery as a place to try new ideas. He was the first in the Highlands to own a car, and Glen Grant became the first distillery with electric light. On his travels he collected exotic flowers and plants and planted them in his Garden of Splendours.

His other legacy is in the stills. Glen Grant uses tall, slender stills with purifiers, which are credited with its malty flavour and clear colour. Campari has owned the distillery since the mid-2000s.

The 12 Year Old is bottled at 43%. The distillery's own notes are apple pie, caramel and almonds. Tasters add honey, red apple and a thread of marmalade, with a medium finish.

Pour it neat in the evening, or add a splash of water to open it up. It also makes a long drink topped with soda water and a slice of green apple.
