Glen Grant
Founded in 1840 by John and James Grant, the Glen Grant Distillery is at the north end of the village of Rothes. With the sea and port of Garmouth nearby, the River Spey at its feet and barley-growing plains nearby, all the basic ingredients of malt whisky were close at hand. Glen Grant is highly regarded by blenders and has long been a contributer to Chivas Regal. It is now a chic success in Italy and a Victorian classic in Scotland.
