In 1953, Glenlivet merges with Glen Grant but when Pernod Ricard took over Seagram’s whisky arm in 2001 (Seagram aquired Glen Grant in 1977), Glen Grant which was was deemed legally surplus and in 2006 it was snapped up by Gruppo Campari for 115m
Glen Grant is the biggest selling single malt scotch whisky in Italy. With the Italian market focussing on young, light expressions, older bottlings have long been handled by Gordon & MacPhail
The ex-Sherry casks which defined Glen Grant for many years are rarely seen at the distillery these days but remain the signature of the bottlings from independent bottler and distiller – Gordon & MacPhail
Today, Glen Grant is still run by master distiller Dennis Malcolm who was born at the distillery in 1946 and started working there in 1961
