Glen Grant is a renowned single malt Scotch whisky distillery located in Rothes, Speyside, Scotland. Founded in 1840 by brothers John and James Grant, the distillery became famous for its light, floral style of whisky, largely due to the innovative tall, slender stills and purifiers introduced by Major James Grant. The 5-year-old expression shown in the image is a classic example of their core range, particularly popular in the Italian market where it became a dominant malt whisky brand.

While the brand maintains its deep Scottish roots and production facilities in the Highlands, its ownership has shifted through major global beverage groups. Originally part of Glenlivet Distillers, it was acquired by Seagram in 1978 and later by Pernod Ricard in 2001. However, since 2006, Glen Grant has been owned by the Campari Group, an Italian multinational company. This acquisition solidified the brand's position within a global portfolio of spirits, ensuring that while the craftsmanship remains authentically Scottish, the distribution and strategic management are led from Milan, Italy.
