One of the world’s oldest whisky distilleries is reaching deep into its archives for a special release created in honor of Queen Elizabeth II. The Glen Grant Devotion is an ultra-rare 70-year-old single malt whisky that’s going up for auction this week at Sotheby’s.
Created by Glen Grant Master Distiller Dennis Malcolm, the scotch whisky is the oldest-ever release from the distillery in its 180 years of existence. Sourced from a single French oak butt seasoned with oloroso sherry, and filled in 1953 at The Glen Grant distillery in Scotland, ‘Devotion’ achieves a rich and elegant chestnut hue with beautiful clarity thanks to the aging process. The one-of-a-kind liquid, meantime, offers intense notes of barley sugar and ripe peach on the palate, balanced by delicate florals, dry spice, raisins and a hint of oak.
The whisky maintains its character throughout, offering a unique and sophisticated tasting experience that’s meant to mirror the Queen’s storied legacy and The Glen Grant’s long-held pursuit of excellence. John Short The new release is bottled in a custom-made, hand-blown decanter, that pays homage to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s reign. Striking and architectural, each bottle features a silver capsule with floral engraving inspired by the Queen’s favorite flower, the Lily of the Valley, and the thistle, Scotland’s “National Flower.” The bottle is housed in a wood sculpture that Glen Grant says was handcrafted from fallen elm trees discovered within the distillery gardens.
