The distillery runs some of the tallest stills in the industry, fitted with unique purifiers on both the wash and spirit stills — essentially copper vessels with cold water circulating around the top, ensuring only the lightest, most delicate vapors pass through while heavier compounds fall back for redistillation. The 15 Year Batch Strength is distilled from 100% malted barley, matured exclusively in first-fill ex-Bourbon barrels for a minimum of fifteen years, and bottled without chill filtration at a robust 50% ABV to preserve the full weight of flavor developed during aging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright and immediately fresh, opening with green apple and ripe melon before giving way to sugared lemon slice and almond cream.

The 96-point Best in Show designation at the 2024 Tag Awards, stacked alongside Gold medals from both the International Spirits Challenge and the Tokyo Whisky \u0026amp; Spirits Competition, makes this one of the most decorated Speyside expressions in its age class. Non-chill filtration at 46% ABV preserves every nuance developed over two decades, from the tropical fruit brightness driven by Glen Grant's purifier stills to the sherry cask richness that anchors the palate. For drinkers who want a Speyside single malt that balances precision and power at 21 years of age, few bottles carry this level of critical validation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Glen Grant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44839289290921,"sku":"39022","price":339.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/1024\/6313\/files\/Glen-Grant-21-Year__26356.jpg?v=1730519140"}],"url":"https:\/\/theliquorbarn.com\/collections\/glen-grant.oembed","provider":"The Liquor Barn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
