The Glen Grant 70 Year Devotion is not just a whiskyit is a generational artifact. Bottled at a remarkable 111 proof after seven decades in cask, it delivers extraordinary concentration while maintaining elegance and structure. With only seven decanters ever created, this is a true museum-level release that sits at the very top of global whisky collectibility.
Origins & Craftsmanship Produced by The Glen Grant, this expression is the oldest whisky ever released by the distillery, distilled in 1953 and matured for 70 years in a single Oloroso sherry-seasoned French oak butt.
The whisky remained in cask for its full maturationan extraordinary feat given evaporation losses over such a long periodbefore being bottled at a naturally high 111 proof, preserving both intensity and structure.
The Devotion release is presented as a series of just seven unique decanters, each representing a decade of Queen Elizabeth IIs 70-year reign. The Clematis Decanter specifically features floral engraving inspired by the clematis found in the gardens of Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle.
Each decanter is:
Hand-blown crystal, individually crafted
Encased in a sculptural wooden presentation made from a fallen elm tree from the distillery grounds
Designed as a standalone work of art, not simply packaging
With only seven bottles globally, this is among the rarest official distillery releases in modern Scotch history.
