Glen Grant 30 Year Old 1990 The Octave (Duncan Taylor) (cask 4427569) Bottle No.09 70cl, 55.8%

Description

Glen Grant 30 Year Old 1990 The Octave (Duncan Taylor) (cask 4427569) Bottle No.09 70cl, 55.8% is a long-aged Speyside single malt independently bottled by Duncan Taylor for The Octave series. The same cask reference, 4427569, is listed by specialist sources as a 1990 vintage Glen Grant matured for 30 years and bottled after time in a small sherry octave cask, giving the whisky a more concentrated cask influence than a standard larger-cask finish.

What makes this bottle especially attractive is the combination of age, distillery name and sharply defined single-cask identity. Glen Grant is widely associated with an elegant Speyside style, and in this release that mature character is matched with the richer, deeper effect of octave finishing. Published tasting notes for this cask point toward warm spiced fruit crumble, honey sauce, waxy oak, sherry fruits, malty chocolate and a gently leathery depth, giving it a profile that feels both mature and richly styled.

Why Choose Glen Grant 30 Year Old 1990 The Octave (Duncan Taylor) (cask 4427569) Bottle No.09 70cl, 55.8%

stands out because it offers the kind of detail serious buyers look for in one bottle: a named distillery, a 1990 vintage, a 30 year age statement, a precise cask number, a clearly numbered bottle and a very small outturn. That gives it far more identity than a routine mature Speyside release and makes it especially appealing for collectors of Duncan Taylor’s Octave bottlings.

Ideal For.

This bottle is ideal for collectors building a lineup of Duncan Taylor The Octave releases and wanting a well-defined Glen Grant with clear vintage and cask identity.

It is ideal for drinkers who enjoy older Speyside single malt with honeyed fruit, sherried richness, malty chocolate and warming spice.

It is also ideal for buyers looking for a low-outturn single cask that feels more distinctive than a standard ongoing distillery bottling.

Collector’s Note

This bottle has strong collector appeal because it combines all the elements that usually matter in a mature independent release: established Speyside distillery, 1990 vintage, 30 year age statement, single-cask traceability and a small outturn. For many buyers, that already gives it a stronger profile than a standard official bottling.

It is especially attractive because Glen Grant often appears in a more elegant, refined style, while The Octave treatment adds a darker, richer layer of sherry influence. That makes this bottle feel like both a mature Glen Grant and a clearly defined Duncan Taylor collectible. This final point is a collector-focused inference based on the reviewed release details and published tasting style.
