Portrait: What makes the Glen Grant Rothes Chronicles Cask Haven special.
When you hear “Cask Haven,” you might think of a safe haven for thirsty souls – and you’re not far off the mark. Because this single malt from the Glen Grant Distillery is like a cozy blanket in the stormy seas of the whisky world - with a British accent and Scottish understatement.
Glen Grant itself is an institution in Speyside, founded in 1840 by two brothers who not only had a passion for whisky, but also for technical gadgets. One was a brewer, the other a former soldier – together they became the perfect blend of genius and madness. And the distillery? Today, it's world-famous for its elegant style and unfussy clarity.
With the Rothes Chronicles series, Glen Grant pays tribute to its hometown – the small town of Rothes, which has more distilleries per capita than you can count (four – but still!). Cask Haven is the particularly inviting version: a place of inner peace where whisky casks play the main role, and opening the bottle feels like a treasure hunt with a happy ending.
Whether as a gift, insider tip, or a gem on the shelf – this Glen Grant is no loud, attention-grabbing Scotsman, but a friendly Scotsman with charm, history, and a sure sense of style. Once you've met him, you know: You won't be leaving this "haven" anytime soon.
Tasting Notes: This is how the Glen Grant Rothes Chronicles Cask Haven tastes like
- Nose: Light and inviting with fresh apple aromas, pear, and a hint of vanilla - accompanied by floral tones, a hint of honey, and a fine malt aroma - typically Speyside, but with its own elegant twist
- Palate: Smooth and balanced with a pleasant sweetness - fruity impressions of ripe apple and peach meet caramel, light oak spice, and subtle spice notes such as cinnamon and nutmeg - the body is soft, round, and very approachable
- Finish: Medium-long and clean with soft spice, a hint of vanilla, and a slightly dry, malty finish - not a dramatic finish, but a stylish farewell - quite the gentleman
