Description

The Glen Grant Eternal 77 Year Old 1948


  • The Glen Grant Eternal 77 Year Old is a one-of-a-kind rare single malt Scotch whisky and is presented in a hand-blown, 1.5 litre glass decanter.


  • This whisky is drawn from a Sherry seasoned European oak Butt filled in 1948 and bottled at an ABV of 43.0% abv.


  • This true one-of-a -kind is the oldest and rarest whisky to be released by The Glen Grant distillery.


  • Paying homage to the passion and legacy of forefather James 'The Major' Grant, The Glen Grant Eternal captures the true spirit of his adventures, his vision and his commitment to absolute nurture and preservation.


  • Taking inspiration from both the Garden of Splendours and the cask within which the spirit has matured.


  • Rooted in the idea of a developing seedpod, this striking glass structure appears almost organic. The whisky itself almost grows out beyond the protective silver outer cage, just as it would flourish and evolve from within the cask.
