Glen Grant Scotch Whisky unveils the Exploration Series, a biannual limited edition line featuring distinctive cask finishes sourced globally.

The Glen Grant Introduces Exploration No. 1, Kickstarting a Limited-Edition Series

The Glen Grant distillery, nestled in the heart of Speyside, Scotland, is excited to announce the launch of Exploration No. 1, the first release in a limited-edition series of single malt Scotch whiskies. This unique whisky has been meticulously crafted and aged, resulting in a vibrant and sweet spirit that showcases the distillery's singular character.

The creation of Exploration No. 1 is a testament to the innovation and adventurous spirit of James 'The Major' Grant, who inherited the business in 1872. Known for his passion for discovery, The Major made inspiring journeys that led to the creation of his Garden of Splendours. His spirit of exploration lives on today, with The Glen Grant's Master Distiller, Greig Stables, carrying forward this legacy.

The process for creating Exploration No. 1 is a blend of tradition and innovation. The spirit is distilled in custom-designed stills and purifiers, aged in ex-bourbon barrels, and finished in exquisite rum casks. This unique combination imparts a depth of sweetness and the vibrancy of tropical fruits, creating a vivid expression that is truly unique.

Greig Stables expresses his excitement about launching the Exploration Series with Exploration No. 1, describing it as a "vivid expression" of The Glen Grant's singular character. He shares his inspiration for the rum finish on Exploration No. 1, developed from a love and admiration for aged rums.

The Glen Grant distillery, built in 1840 by brothers James and John Grant, prides itself on its whisky-making process, which is entirely on the distillery grounds. From barley to bottle, every step is taken with care and precision, resulting in a whisky that truly reflects the essence of Speyside.

The retail price for Exploration No. 1 is $120 USD, making it a special treat for whisky connoisseurs worldwide. The Glen Grant Exploration No. 1 is launching globally in select retail markets this month, with the initial release having been in global travel retail destinations across Asia-Pacific.

The Glen Grant's Exploration Series draws inspiration from James 'The Major' Grant, the distillery's forefather known for his passion for discovery. Each release in the series will offer a fresh perspective on The Glen Grant's singular character, exploring unique flavours imparted from different cask finishes sourced from around the world.

The Glen Grant is part of the Campari Group, a major player in the global spirits industry, with a portfolio of over 50 premium and super premium brands. The company is committed to honouring 'The Major's' legacy by embracing his spirit of exploration in the making of their whisky and innovation philosophy.

In conclusion, the launch of Exploration No. 1 marks an exciting new chapter for The Glen Grant distillery. This limited-edition series promises to offer a unique and vibrant taste of Speyside, with each release showcasing the distillery's commitment to innovation and tradition. So, raise a glass to 'The Major' and his spirit of exploration, and enjoy the vivid expression that is Exploration No. 1.
