Facts

Glen Grant The Majors Reserve takes its name from Major James Grant, the distillery figure who pushed innovation in Rothes. The whisky keeps the house style light and approachable, but it still carries clear Speyside character. Expect gentle apple, vanilla cream, and soft oak, with a touch of honeyed malt in the background. It is easy to return to because the profile stays clean and bright from first sip to finish. This bottle feels like a practical doorway into Glen Grant, not a dramatic detour. That honest style is its charm.
