Glen Grant is one of the most famous distilleries in Scotland, a prominent name that has written the history of Scotch Whisky, becoming a legend. It was founded in 1840 by brothers John and James Grant, members of the famous Grant clan and protagonists of the last clan insurrection in Scottish history, which took place about twenty years earlier. In the early days of its history, the distillery contributed to the construction of the first railway in northern Scotland and, in the early 1900s, was the first to be equipped with electricity. A glorious centuries-old tradition and a long succession of visionary master distillers have decisively contributed to the consecration and fame of one of the most well-known Scottish brands in the world.
The Glen Grant distillery is located in Rothes, in Speyside, a territory chosen by the founders for the presence of vast barley plantations, the waters of the River Spey, and the port of Garmouth.
