Glen Grant Single Malt Scotch Whisky introduces Glen Grant Devotion,  an exquisite 70-year-old single malt whisky, the oldest release ever from the distillery, presented as a handcrafted sculptural masterpiece, many years in the making. Inspired by the remarkable reign of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, this release is a tribute to 70 years of resolute service and a lifelong devotion to nature.

Sourced from a single French oak butt seasoned with oloroso sherry filled in 1953 at The Glen Grant distillery, Devotion was hand-selected for its lifetime of character achieved through exquisite maturation. The striking deep chestnut hues combine with a definitive floral aroma of intense barley sugar, ripe peach, giving way to honey sweetness, the distillery says. The palate is captivated with rich dried fruits, raisins, sultana, dry spice with just a hint of oak. Showcasing the excellence and unparalleled aging potential of The Glen Grant whiskies, the whisky is at a high strength of 55.5% abv.

With only seven beautiful, hand-blown decanters created, and each one-of-a-kind, The Glen Grant's Devotion is as rare as it is extraordinary.

All seven of the unique decanters are presented as a mesmerising gem-shaped objet d'art, with seven facets celebrating each decade of exquisite maturation and of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's reign. Each features a silver capsule, adorned with its own individually meaningful floral engraving as a celebration of her inspiring life. The jewel-like decanter is perfectly balanced within a striking wood sculpture handcrafted from a fallen elm tree discovered within the distillery gardens and features an intricate woven design of shapes and forms inspired by nature. The engraving on the sculpture's silver diameter pays homage to Her Majesty's favourite flower, the Lily of the Valley, and features the proud Thistle of Scotland.

To support the preservation of Scotland's native woodland, decanter Number One will be auctioned by Sotheby's in an online sale running from September 11th- 22ndSeptember 2023 with 100% of the proceeds donated to the Royal Scottish Forestry Society, of which Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was the Patron.

Following the auction of decanter Number One the remaining six decanters will be made available for sale in select global markets in the United States and Asia with price available upon request, starting in October of 2023.
