The Glen Grant 12 Year Scotch Whisky

Glen Grant's 12 Year Old is the entry point into the Speyside distillery's single malt range, matured in a mix of hand-selected ex-Bourbon barrels and Oloroso sherry casks. There's a bit of ABV confusion worth knowing about: most independent reviewers cite the standard bottling at 43%, though Difford's Guide lists 40%, and there's also a separate Travel Retail expression bottled non-chill filtered at 48% — worth checking your specific bottle's label. The 12 Year has picked up Gold recognition across multiple years from the Beverage Testing Institute, the Ultimate Spirits Challenge, and the New York International Spirits Competition. Expect a golden color with apple pie, ripe pear, toasted almond, and mild cinnamon on the nose, moving into orchard fruit, caramel, and peppery spice on the palate. Reviewers land in a pretty consistent place: solid, reliable, and easy-drinking, if not especially showy. Words of Whisky called it "approachable, accessible, and just a very pleasant sipper," while Whiskey Wash was more pointed, describing it as "competent" but simple enough that "to expect more is to invite disappointment." A fair, honest entry-level Speyside malt — good for everyday sipping, not for chasing complexity.
