This and the GG 10 are from the discontinued GG lineup. I'll be doing the 10 in time, but I've decided to start here with the 16. Let's see if Glen Grant was right to revamp their lineup or whether they should've kept this one around. Nose: Standard Speyside. Apple, pear, and apricot. It's floral. Orange citrus. Toffee, honey, and vanilla. White pepper and oak. Palate: Vanilla, caramel, honey, and toffee. Apple, pear, apricot, and orange. Walnut and almond. Some nice oak and subtle baking spices. Some plum skin and raisin. Finish: Walnut and almond. Apple, pear, apricot, and orange. Cinnamon, white pepper, clove, nutmeg, and oak. Moderate length. A few things here. The notes are generic Speyside through and through. The nose is painfully generic, but is at least pleasant. The palate is a nice step up and does a nice job of embodying the Speyside spirit and reflecting its respectable age statement. The finish is about what you'd expect of a 43% ABV Speyside whisky. Now to answer the big question. I've only had 2 Glen Grant expressions, and they're both discontinued. Without having tried the current lineup, I can't say that they were right or wrong to discontinue this. What I will say is that the only remarkable thing about this bottle is that I've only ever seen one. This one. I bought it so that I could try it because I knew I'd never have another opportunity. And while I don't regret the purchase by any means, I hope Glen Grant has done better with their new lineup. 3.25/5.
