Glen Grant Arboralis is a Speyside single malt matured in ex-Bourbon and Spanish Sherry casks, offering creamy toffee and ripe pear notes with a hint of spice. Its name, meaning "light from within the trees," reflects the distillery's Victorian gardens.  

Glen Grant Arboralis is a vibrant and approachable single malt Scotch whisky that celebrates the lush Victorian gardens surrounding the Glen Grant Distillery in Speyside. The name "Arboralis," derived from Latin, signifies "light from within the trees," a fitting tribute to the casks maturing under the shelter of these ancient trees. Crafted by Master Distiller Dennis Malcolm, this expression is created using hand-selected ex-Bourbon and Oloroso Sherry casks. This maturation process imparts a bright gold color and a complex yet delicate aroma of floral and fruity notes, including dried raisins, honeysuckle, and lemon citrus, underlined by an oaky maltiness. On the palate, Arboralis delivers a harmonious blend of oak and butterscotch, complemented by the sweetness of dried fruits and a gentle touch of spice. The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering notes of malty vanilla, pear, and subtle citrus. Glen Grant Arboralis embodies the distillery's signature elegance and smooth character, making it a delightful dram for both seasoned whisky enthusiasts and newcomers.
