Before Glen Grant became a global name, it had The Major, James Grant, a true innovator in the 1800s who modernized whisky production and lived life on his own terms. The Major’s Reserve pays tribute to that legacy with a lighter, more accessible style. It’s a whisky for those just stepping into the Glen Grant world or for seasoned drinkers who appreciate elegance over edge.
