The kind of bottle that you buy, savour, love, and then promptly forget about entirely and never re-purchase. An archetypal Speyside whisky, the Glen Grant 16 is all fruit and floral on the nose: fresh apples, red and green, and fresh pears (the bottle's tasting notes don't lie about the intense orchard fruits), but also baking apples and candied apples—caramel-covered dessert treats. Fruit-juice candies. Vanilla. Restrained oak. Cinnamon? Grassy. Fresh flowers. Body is quite light, edging toward watery, and the taste is really just a more restrained repetition of the nose. Throw in some beeswax for good measure. Short, dry finish with a bit of unexpected herbal nuttiness (given the fruits dominating everything else). A great summer whisky, and a really enjoyable flavour profile. But a bit pricey for what you're getting, and a flavour profile that other distilleries do even better (Glenfiddich 15 Distillery Edition comes to mind).
