Decadent Drinks completes its final run of Sponges with a tribute to Glen Grant, a distillery particularly adored by Angus. This release is drawn from a 2003 first-fill barrel, aged for 20 years and bottled at 57.1% (100 proof), a strength carefully chosen to enhance its rich and full-bodied character.
In keeping with tradition—and with a nod to classic Glen Grant labels—this edition proudly features a design inspired by the historic Heath Covered Mountains motif, now free from copyright constraints. The cask itself showcases Glen Grant’s signature depth, offering a whisky of remarkable texture, sweetness, and complexity.
