The Glen Grant 70 Year Old “Devotion – Clematis Decanter” Single Malt Scotch Whisky – 111 Proof, Ultra-Rare Limited Release
The Glen Grant 70 Year “Devotion” is not just a whisky—it 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 maturation—an extraordinary feat given evaporation losses over such a long period—before 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 II’s 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.
Tasting Profile
Nose: Intensely aromatic—honeyed barley, dried fruit, floral notes, and polished oak with remarkable concentration.
Palate: Deep and layered—raisin, sultana, dark fruit, spice, and oak with a rich, full-bodied texture.
Finish: Exceptionally long, evolving into soft fruit, spice, and a faint whisper of smoke.
