One Drink, 3 Three Ways: Glen Grant 15-Year-Old Single Malt Scotch

We’ve been working our way through different ages of Glen Grant Scotch whisky lately and loving every sip. Their 15-year-old spirit is matured in a balanced combination of ex-Bourbon and ex-Sherry casks before eventually being bottled at 50% abv. Oomph! Behind that inviting gold colouring is a superbly well-rounded bold and fruity flavour profile, with rich vanilla oak char laced throughout. If you like Speyside whisky, you’ll love this.

You might have seen our Glen Grant 10-year-old cocktails, but these are a lot simpler with fewer ingredients. Put simply, all the hard work has already been done for you at the distillery and in this case, less is more. Enjoy!


Helena’s Choice: Classic Highball


With more and more drinkers looking to take their first steps on the whisky road, highballs are a great, accessible way to start the whisky journey before hitting the stuff neat. With such a flavoursome, well-rounded Scotch, a classic highball is the perfect way to enjoy a delicious 15-year single malt at its peak! Simply pour the whisky into a highball glass with ice and top it up with soda. Sublime.

Aidy’s Choice: Bobby Burns


Here’s a classic Scotch cocktail if ever I saw one. Made in the same vein as a Rob Roy but superior (if I do say so myself), this is a deliciously boozy cocktail. The three liquids balance out really well to create a rich and subtly spicy concoction that is dangerously sippable. You can mix up the ratios to your taste, but all you’ve got to do is stir everything with ice, strain into a glass and serve with a nice orange twist!

Colin’s Choice: On the Rocks


A big lump of ice and a generous pour of beautiful whisky – sometimes you can’t beat simplicity. This Scotch certainly isn’t one to wilt in the limelight, so it performs well on the rocks where you can experience all of its layers. Just sip and enjoy as the ice melts.

Glen Grant 10 Year Old

Brothers John and James Grant began as illicit smugglers but having built up a network of connections in Scotland, they founded The Glen Grant distillery in 1840 and even helped build local railways to help the Speyside region of Scotland become the whisky hotbed it is today. 

Beautifully amber on the eye, the 10-year-old Glen Grant Scotch is the definitive Speyside whisky. It has wonderfully unique notes of green orchard, toffee, and vanilla and it’s equally quaffable for a whisky beginner or a seasoned drinker, which is part of the reason it’s picked up so many awards and heaps of praise. 

Truth be told, Glen Grant is super satisfying to sip on its own, but when a whisky is this gorgeous it would be a crime not to experiment with it!


Helena’s Choice: Orchard High Ball


I’ve gone for a little orchard twist on the classic Whisky Highball. The green orchard notes of the Glen Grant work wonders so I’m emphasising them with a little pear liqueur and zesty freshness from orange bitters and wedge. Simply pour all the ingredients into a highball glass, stir well to blend everything, then add ice, and finish it off with an orange wedge for garnish.

Recipe

50ml Glen Grant 10YO

10ml pear liqueur (Merlet works well)

2 dashes orange bitters

Soda Top

Orange wedge


Aidy’s Choice: Brigadoon


Originally from The Player, now Basement State in Soho, this is a modern classic that delights whisky drinkers and seasoned dram fans alike. The sour lemon and sweet apricot in this combination mirror each other so well, and at the heart of it is the strong Speyside Scotch that remains the worthy star of the show. There are a few bold flavours jostling here so make sure to shake well and serve over ice.

Colin’s Choice: Grant’s Buck


This short and sharp tipple is a delight. The green fruit notes of the whisky are brought to the fore, and there’s a little extra sweetness that goes nicely too. I’m also a fan of the finish with the gentle lingering spice from the Scotch and ginger ale. Fill a rocks glass with ice and add the ingredients. Give it a good stir and garnish with a lemon twist.
