About Glen Grant

Glen Grant is a whisky distillery. SMWS 9.271 Glen Grant 1996 27 Year Old is an age-stated bottling at 27 years old, distilled in 1996.

What drives this bottle's value

  • Single vintage

    Distilled in a single year (1996), so the available batch is inherently finite.

  • Considerable age

    A 27-year age statement reflects long maturation and the small surviving volume that implies — older stock is scarcer.

  • Single cask

    A single-cask bottling (cask 9x271) comes from one strictly limited outturn rather than a large batch.

  • Independent bottling

    An independent bottling by smws, typically produced in far smaller numbers than an official distillery release.

These are scarcity and demand signals drawn from the bottle's own attributes — they describe the bottle, not a prediction of future price. Not investment advice.
