The Tantalus Glen Grant 1972 Single Malt Scotch Whisky - 41 Years - Cask No. C3889

Distilled in 1972 and matured for 41 years, this is whisky from another era — a single cask Glen Grant that spent over four decades quietly developing in oak before being bottled without compromise.

The Duncan Taylor Tantalus is a collection reserved for Scotland's most exceptional whiskies: single malts and single grains matured for 30 years or more in premium oak casks previously holding Bourbon, Sherry, or Port. Each expression is bottled at natural cask strength, without chill filtration, and without added color — an uncompromising commitment to authenticity.

This release is presented in a hand-blown glass decanter, housed in an elegant Tantalus crafted from the very oak casks that matured the whisky. Exclusively designed for Duncan Taylor, it is as much a collector's object as it is a whisky.
