Glen Grant
Founded in 1840 by brothers John and James Grant – two successful illicit distillers, one of whom also practised as a lawyer – Glen Grant became the first of five distilleries in the whisky town of Rothes and was among Speyside's most successful brands from the very start.
Glen Grant stands for a soft, elegant Speyside style that, once matured, feels notably fuller and warmer than the well-known younger standard bottlings. From the Glen Grant 10 Year Old to the more mature 18 Year Old, you will find the right bottle for every occasion in our selection.

How did two illicit distillers create one of Speyside's best-known brands?
John and James Grant founded Glen Grant in 1840 as the first distillery in Rothes – demand was so strong from the start that a second plant was built directly across the road in 1897, initially called "Glen Grant No. 2" and later known as the standalone Caperdonich distillery. After the founding brothers' deaths, a successor from the Grant family took over management in 1872 and introduced tall, slender stills and purifiers – still shaping Glen Grant's characteristically fresh, malty, and clear-coloured style today. Under his leadership, Glen Grant also became one of the first distilleries to have electric light.
How did Glen Grant end up with the Campari Group?
In 1973, the number of stills grew from four to six, and in 1977, under new owner Seagram, to eight. From 2001 to late 2005, Glen Grant belonged to Pernod Ricard, but had to be sold again for competition-law reasons following the acquisition of Allied Domecq. Since then, the distillery has belonged to the Campari Group.
