Glen Grant 1956/2021 – 65-Year-Old First Fill Sherry Butt #4451 | Gordon & MacPhail for LMDW

An extraordinary survival from Speyside’s golden age, this Glen Grant 1956 is a monumental single malt, distilled at a time when whisky was still shaped by pre-industrial rhythms and long, patient maturation was the norm rather than the exception. Bottled by Gordon & MacPhail in 2021 for La Maison du Whisky, this release draws from a single first fill sherry butt (#4451), offering a rare and uncompromising window into nearly seven decades of cask influence and stewardship.

Matured for an astonishing 65 years, this whisky stands as a testament to Gordon & MacPhail’s unparalleled expertise in long-term aging. The choice to bottle at cask strength (55.4% ABV) underscores the exceptional vitality retained within the spirit, while the limited outturn of just 180 bottles places it firmly among the most exclusive Glen Grant releases ever offered. Every element of this bottling speaks to restraint, precision, and respect for time.

Released as part of the esteemed Connoisseurs Choice range, and selected specifically for LMDW, this Glen Grant is not merely an old whisky - it is a historical artefact. A benchmark Speyside malt, preserved through generations, and now revealed in its full, undiluted form for the most discerning collectors and connoisseurs.
