Glen Grant is an interesting dram -- it's normally seen as a much younger whisky, particularly in Italy where I have heard it is sold as a 5 year old and is the top seller. The 16 year old is a departure from the normal in age, but not in flavor profile. It is very much the typical Glen Grant, with sweet biscuit and orange peel on the nose. Bottled at 43% abv, the mouthfeel is very round and easy drinking. In fact, I would advise against adding water to your glass; it seems perfectly balanced to be consumed at its bottle strength. The finish is long and only slightly tannic, like the aftermath of eating a few almonds. This is a well-crafted, smooth and satisfying dram that would be ideal for those who like a lighter, yet mature scotch.
