The Glen Grant introduces its Splendours Collection, an selection from the rarest whiskies maturing at its distillery. The collection, which will be unveiled over the coming years, debuted with a 65-Year-Old single malt Scotch whisky.
Distilled in 1958 and nurtured to perfection for over six decades, the expression began in slender coal-fired pot stills that define The Glen Grant’s signature style. It was then filled into a single French oak butt and left to mature. The whisky was taken from Warehouse No.4, the distillery’s oldest traditional stone dunnage warehouse, in 2025.
“The true scarcity of this spirit at 65 Years Old is testament to the unwavering approach to whisky making and visionary innovation which has always defined The Glen Grant,” said Greig Stables, The Glen GrantMaster Distiller. “Although distilled back in 1958, the methods remain almost entirely the same today reflecting the legacy of our forefathers. This whisky captures a lifetime of flavor and character from its journey in a single French oak butt. This time has created a magnificent single malt, which despite its lengthy union in oak, retains the distinct and singular character of The Glen Grant.”
Taking inspiration from the distillery’s Garden of Splendours, each release in the Splendours Collection pays homage to natural elements that grow within the grounds. The 65-Year-Old is a tribute to the Himalayan Blue Poppy, one of the rarest flowers on Earth. Its vivid sky-blue hues and delicate nature reflect the challenge of cultivating something so distinctive and scarce—a sentiment echoed in the creation of the 65-year-old whisky. Still blooming in the Garden today, this flower serves as a reference to the distillery’s forefather, James ‘The Major’ Grant.
The Glen Grant 65-Year-Old is presented in 151 handcrafted decanters designed by John Galvin and Glasstorm, each uniquely designed as a Mobius strip seed pod—a continuous, flowing loop symbolizing the timelessness of nature. Intricately engraved with Himalayan Blue Poppies and crafted from wood species still living in the Garden today.
The Glen Grant 65-Year-Old is released widely across retail for $50,000.
