Released in tribute to Mr George Urquhart, second generation of the family that owns Gordon & MacPhail, this is the Second Edition in the 'Mr George Legacy' series. A true pioneer within the Scotch whisky industry, Mr George started working in the business in 1933 and created the iconic Connoisseurs Choice in 1968.
Another outstanding malt has been chosen, which was laid down by 'Mr George' Urquhart himself. Distilled 10th October 1957 at the Glen Grant distillery and laid to rest in a first-fill Sherry butt for an incredible 64 years, cask #3483 was carefully emptied and filled to bottle, 9th November 2021 at an impressive, 59.4% vol.
Only 298 bottles of this well-aged Glen Grant have been bottled for this very special release.
