Comments:


This is called a Pure Malt, but the full bottle version seems to be called a Single Malt. I assume this miniature is a single malt also (Google seems to think so!). Anyway, it's watery and light, nothing like those incredible old Glen Grants. I think it is really true - Glen Grant is one of the slowest aging of all whiskies.

Verdict:

Not bad.
