Created by Gordon & MacPhail to mark the life and influence of George Urquhart, this release reflects his long-standing commitment to single malt whisky. Often referred to as the father of single malt, Urquhart had a particular penchant for Glen Grant. The third release in the Legacy series, this 1959 Glen Grant was matured for 63 years in a first-fill sherry butt and bottled at natural cask strength.
