The "Gordon & MacPhail Glen Grant 10 Year Old 43% 750ml" refers to a Speyside single malt Scotch whisky, independently bottled by Gordon & MacPhail, aged 10 years, with a higher 43% Alcohol By Volume (ABV) for the 750ml size, offering light, fruity notes of orchard fruits, vanilla, and sweetness, distinct from the distillery's standard 40% release. It's known for being an approachable, well-balanced, everyday whisky, often enjoyed neat or with a drop of water, and valued for its character derived from its maturation in bourbon casks, notes Whisky Marketplace US and www.whiskymarketplace.com/whiskies/glen-grant-10-year-old-gordon-and-macphail-speyside-single-malt-scotch.
