The Glen Grant Single Malt Scotch Whisky today announces The Visionary 68-Year-Old has sold for £212,500 ($256,636 USD) – doubling the original high estimate- at The Distillers One of One Auction, with proceeds set to benefit the Distillers’ Charity.

The Visionary
This news comes on the heels of last week’s landmark auction in partnership with Sotheby’s, in which the Devotion 70-Year-Old was sold for £81,250 ($101,300 USD). As the gavel fell at the Distillers One of One, the one-of-a-kind Visionary – the oldest whisky present at the auction – now holds a world record price for a whisky from The Glen Grant in its 180-year history and secured the distillery a top three spot of the 39 lots in this year’s auction.
Aged for 68 years and drawn from a single oloroso sherry cask, The Visionary rare offering showcases the exceptional quality of the Glen Grant whiskies at high age. While a relative newcomer to the auction scene, The Glen Grant’s recent successes highlight the meticulous maturation approach and collectability of the distillery that has called Speyside home since 1840.
