MM Distillery profile:
The people of the Glen Grant distillery are so proud of the fact that their distillery was founded in 1840 that they put it on all their bottles - well, at least all their official releases. On the shelves of your average liquorist it may not seem like such a 'big' brand as, say, Bowmore or Springbank, but Glen Grant is actually the third largest malt whisky producer in Scotland, right after Glenfiddich and Macallan and (just) ahead of Glenlivet.....
