The Glen Grant Exploration No.1 is the inaugural release in the distillery’s Exploration Series, a collection inspired by the adventurous spirit of James 'The Major' Grant and his passion for discovering unique flavors from around the world. This limited-edition single malt brings together the distillery’s signature delicately aromatic and fruit-forward style with the exotic influence of rum cask finishing.
Initially matured in traditional ex-bourbon barrels, the whisky is then transferred into carefully selected rum casks, allowing it to develop vibrant tropical layers and warming spice. Bottled at 48% ABV and non-chill filtered, Exploration No.1 preserves the whisky’s natural texture and complexity while showcasing a rich interplay of sweet fruit, dark sugar, and gentle spice.
The result is a lively yet refined single malt that reflects both the heritage of The Glen Grant and the adventurous spirit behind the Exploration Series—combining classic Speyside elegance with a bold tropical twist.

Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is a Speyside single malt that takes a detour: matured first in ex-bourbon barrels, then moved into rum casks, and bottled at 48% ABV without chill filtration. It is the inaugural release in Glen Grant's Exploration Series, a limited edition inspired by James 'The Major' Grant and his appetite for flavors from around the world. In the glass it keeps the distillery's delicate, fruit-forward character while the rum casks push it somewhere sunnier: ripe banana, dark sugar, orange zest, creamy vanilla, warming spice, and a long finish that leaves fresh pineapple behind. Skipping chill filtration preserves its natural texture, and a few drops of water open up the citrus and pineapple. It suits the drinker who already loves fruity Speyside malts and wants a twist, and it makes a rewarding introduction to cask finishing for someone newer to Scotch. We carry it because it is a genuinely different take on a classic house style, and as the first chapter of a new series it earns a spot on a collector's shelf.
Pairs well with
- Pineapple tart — The tart's bright fruit echoes the fresh pineapple that lingers on the whisky's finish.
- Warm banana bread — Its caramelized banana and brown sugar mirror the ripe banana and dark sugar notes from the rum cask finish.
- Leisurely after-dinner dram — The long, creamy finish and gentle sweetness make it a natural way to close out a meal.
