DUTY ZERO by cdf Presents: The Inaugural Limited-Edition Release of The Glen Grant Exploration Series No. 1
For over 180 years, The Glen Grant distillery has been driven by a singular vision, drawing inspiration from around the world to craft exceptional whiskies that embody innovation.
In 1872, James ‘The Major’ Grant inherited The Glen Grant Distillery. As a charismatic innovator, he ventured where others would not, travelling from Southern Africa to the Himalayas, collecting rare flowers and plants for his beloved Garden of Splendours in Scotland.
Inspired by his global journeys and passion for new flavours, ‘The Major’ revolutionised whisky-making by engineering tall, slender pot stills with water-cooling purifiers. This innovation ensured only the finest vapours condensed, creating the signature style of The Glen Grant enjoyed today.
