28 Mar ​The Glen Grant Unveils 65-Year-Old Single Malt in New Splendours Collection

For over 180 years, The Glen Grant has been perfecting the art of single malt whisky. Now, the Speyside distillery unveils the Splendours Collection, beginning with an extraordinary 65-Year-Old single malt distilled in 1958. ​

A Tribute to Nature and Innovation

Inspired by The Garden of Splendours, the distillery’s iconic landscape, this release honors the rare Himalayan Blue Poppy, reflecting the whisky’s own rarity. The handcrafted decanter, designed by John Galvin and Glasstorm, resembles a Mobius strip seed pod, symbolizing timelessness. Engraved with the Himalayan Blue Poppy, each decanter incorporates wood species from the distillery’s garden, connecting the whisky to its natural roots. ​The Glen Grant

An Extraordinary Whisky Decades in the Making

This 65-Year-Old single malt was distilled in 1958 using slender coal-fired pot stills and matured in a single French oak butt within Warehouse No.4, the distillery’s oldest dunnage warehouse. Bottled at cask strength of 55.5% ABV, it offers depth, complexity, and character. ​Forbes
