Glen Grant is launching its new Splendours Collection, an exquisite selection from the rarest whiskies maturing at the Glen Grant distillery. The collection of highly limited releases, which will be unveiled over the coming years, debuts with an extraordinary 65-Year-Old single malt Scotch whisky, distilled in 1958 and aged for over six decades.

Taking creative inspiration from the distillery’s iconic Garden of Splendours, each release in the Splendours Collection will pay homage to natural elements that grow and flourish within the grounds. The first of the releases, the 65-Year-Old, is a tribute to the Himalayan Blue Poppy, one of the rarest flowers on earth. 

Distilled in slender coal-fired pot stills, the whisky was then filled into a single French oak butt and left to mature to perfection for decades. The whisky was eventually taken from Warehouse No.4, the distillery’s oldest traditional stone dunnage warehouse in 2025 to be bottled.

Abundantly sweet with syrup treacle, balanced by the juiciness of ripe blackberries and subtle hints of sandalwood

Greig Stables, Master Distiller at The Glen Grant, remarked: "The true scarcity of this spirit at 65 Years Old is testament to the unwavering approach to whisky making and visionary innovation which has always defined The Glen Grant. Although distilled back in 1958, the methods remain almost entirely the same today reflecting the legacy of our forefathers. This whisky captures a lifetime of flavour and character from its journey in a single French oak butt. This time has created a magnificent single malt, which despite its lengthy union in oak, retains the distinct and singular character of The Glen Grant.”
