The Glen Grant Launch and World Whisky Day

Overview

There's nothing like a dram of scotch to keep you warm in the colder months. Thankfully, World Whisky Day (May 15) is just around the corner and, for Melbourne locals, you can celebrate the amber liquor even sooner at the launch event of The Glen Grant Elegant by Nature on Wednesday, May 5.

The Glen Grant distillery is located in the Scottish parish of Rothes, right by barley fields and the River Spey. So, naturally, the label makes use of its natural environment — and engineering innovations — to create elegant and complex amber liquors.

The launch kicks off at 5pm on Wednesday May 5 at Loop Project Space and Bar in Meyers Place. There'll be a living artwork inspired by the distillery's stunning surrounds as well as a tasting session where you can try The Glen Grant 10 Year Old, 15 Year Old, 18 year Old and Arboralis.

If you can't make the launch, head to Loop on Saturday, May 15 to celebrate World Whisky Day. Here, you can try a dram of the new whisky while an expert guides you through the tasting notes. As capacity is limited — booking is essential. Tickets are $25 which includes the tasting session and canapés, too.

Round up your mates and head to Loop on Wednesday, May 5 to try The Glen Grant Elegant by Nature range.
