This distillery was built in 1840 by the brothers John and James Grant. The construction of the Morayshire Railway, which was built right next to the distillery, was excellent for the supply of coal, peat and barrels and, more importantly, of course, the disposal of the whisky. This is one of the world's best selling single malts. Matured for 10 years in ex-Bourbon barrels, this Glen Grand was in 2013 awarded the title 'Single Malt of the Year' in its category.
