These exquisite expressions are the final releases from Glen Grant with master distiller Dennis Malcolm at the helm
The visionary forefather of The Glen Grant, James “The Major” Grant, was known to be an avid traveller who had a knack for amassing various flora on his voyages. A Victorian-inspired glasshouse back at his home in Scotland was built to protect and nurture these delicate plants, much like how the distillery’s warehouses have done for decades with its exquisite spirits. And this was the legacy inspiring today’s Glasshouse Collection–a trio of rare single malt whiskies, created to capture the essence of The Major’s Glasshouse.
Joining The Glen Grant’s permanent portfolio are three of the oldest expressions ever bottled: the 21, 25 and 30-year old single malts. The launch of these spirits symbolise much more than just luxury whisky; it also commemorates six decades of master distiller Dennis Malcom’s stewardship at The Glen Grant as he heads on to retirement. His legacy continues to be upheld and honoured by Greig Stables, who has had 18 years of tutelage under Malcom and also plays a pivotal role in the creation of the new launch.
“Working alongside Dennis has been an incredible journey. I’m deeply grateful for his insight and guidance,” says Stables. “As I become Master Distiller, I carry with me the lessons learned and the guiding vision imparted on this journey. I’m honoured to lead The Glen Grant into this new chapter.”

The Glen Grant 21-Year-Old embodies a fresh and vibrant character with an explosion of tropical fruits, creamy butter notes, and an enduring creme brulee finish define this single malt.

A new offering from The Glen Grant, the distinguished 25-Year-Old is a whisky that unveils itself with velvety smoothness.

Delve deeper, and uncover rich flavours of dark chocolate, zesty orange, oak, and nutmeg, culminating in a finish of warm spice with a subtle hint of soft smoke. With 25 years of aging, this whisky is bottled at 46% ABV, natural in colour, and non-chill filtered.

As twilight descends, discover the 30-Year-Old, rare and exquisite with a bouquet of rich, complex, oaky tones and deep, distinctive finish. Each sip reveals the depth of its maturity, as flavours of demerara sugar and a velvety creaminess dance upon the palate, leading to an irresistibly sweet and fruity finish that lingers, leaving one yearning for more. The 30-Year-Old is bottled at 48% ABV, natural in colour and non-chill filtered.
The Glen Grant 21-Year-Old and 25-Year-Old are now available directly via Campari Group’s RARE Division sales, with the 30-Year-Old scheduled to arrive in Q1 of 2025.
