THE GLEN GRANT’S SPLENDOURS COLLECTION LAUNCHES WITH EXQUISITE 65-YEAR-OLD SINGLE MALT SCOTCH WHISKY

Distilled in Scotland in 1958, the 65-Year-Old is the first from a new collection which features some of the rarest whiskies maturing at The Glen Grant distillery

To mark the occasion, The Glen Grant has partnered with renowned artist group Random International to reveal “Seasons,” an innovative painting performance from their Pixelography series, in Hong Kong

ROTHES, Scotland, March 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Glen Grant ascends to new heights with the introduction of the Splendours Collection, an exquisite selection from the rarest whiskies maturing at The Glen Grant distillery. The collection of highly limited releases, which will be unveiled over the coming years, debuts with an extraordinary 65-Year-Old single malt Scotch whisky, distilled in 1958 and nurtured to perfection for over six decades.

Distilled in Scotland in 1958, the 65-Year-Old is the first whisky to launch in the Splendours Collection, which features some of the rarest whiskies maturing at The Glen Grant distillery.

An Inspired Design
Taking creative inspiration from the distillery’s iconic Garden of Splendours, each release in the Splendours Collection is a handcrafted masterpiece paying homage to natural elements that grow and flourish within the grounds. The first of the releases, the 65-Year-Old, is a tribute to the Himalayan Blue Poppy, one of the rarest flowers on earth and a symbol of the eternal quest for excellence that defines The Glen Grant. Still blooming in the Garden today, this iconic flower serves as a lasting reference to the distillery’s charismatic forefather, James ‘The Major’ Grant, who sowed the seeds for The Glen Grant’s legacy in both whisky-making and its celebrated gardens.

The Glen Grant 65-Year-Old is presented in 151 handcrafted decanters designed by John Galvin and Glasstorm, each uniquely designed as a Mobius strip seed pod—a continuous, flowing loop symbolising the timelessness of nature. Intricately engraved with Himalayan Blue Poppies and crafted from wood species still living in the Garden today, the decanter design bridges nature’s elegance with The Glen Grant’s pursuit of excellence.

A Remarkable Whisky

This extraordinary high-age whisky reflects the distillery’s unwavering dedication to quality. Distilled in slender coal-fired pot stills that define The Glen Grant’s signature style, it was then filled into a single French oak butt and left to mature to perfection for decades. The whisky was taken carefully from Warehouse No.4, the distillery’s oldest traditional stone dunnage warehouse, in 2025 to reveal itself to the world.

Greig Stables, Master Distiller at The Glen Grant, remarked:

“The true scarcity of this spirit at 65 Years Old is testament to the unwavering approach to whisky making and visionary innovation which has defined The Glen Grant. Although distilled back in 1958, the methods remain almost entirely the same today reflecting the legacy of our forefathers. This whisky captures a lifetime of flavour and character from its journey in a single French oak butt retaining the distinct and singular character of The Glen Grant.”

The Glen Grant continues to solidify its reputation for crafting exceptional ultra-luxury whiskies with recent notable releases, including Devotion 70-Year-Old, a masterful collaboration with acclaimed artist John Galvin, and The Visionary One of One, an exclusive 68-Year-Old expression created for the prestigious Distillers’ One of One auction.

The Glen Grant 65-Year-Old is released in key markets across the world at RSP of $50,000USD.

The Glen Grant x Random International: A Celebration in Hong Kong

To celebrate the launch, The Glen Grant has partnered with the renowned post-digital art group Random International to present “Seasons”: a live performance painting experience during the upcoming Art Week in Hong Kong. This exclusive event draws inspiration from the cycles of nature in The Garden of Splendours and the timeless elegance of the Splendours Collection.

“Seasons” is a custom iteration of Random International’s Pixelography series, making its debut in the Asian art scene. This proprietary process transforms endlessly reproducible digital source data into hand-painted masterpieces, redefining the intersection between the digital and the physical.

This captivating performance will feature the creation of 65 bespoke artworks , symbolising the 65-Year-Old decanter and the passage of the four seasons. During the public exhibition, guests will witness the artistic process unfold while savouring The Glen Grant whisky, experiencing a multisensory journey into the rich narrative of the Splendours Collection. The experience will be open to the public at The Upper House Hong Kong as part of Swire Properties Arts Month on March 27-28, 2025 from 12-3 pm HKT.

“Our bespoke Pixelography performance ‘Seasons’ is an artistic response to The Glen Grant’s celebration of cyclical change in The Garden of Splendours, especially spanning across the decades it took to craft and perfect the 65-Year-Old,” said Hannes Koch, co-founder of Random International. “This informed our creation of the custom source imagery for ‘Seasons’; and it is also embodied in the Pixelography process itself, wrestling unlimited, intangible, digital imagery back into the finite, material world through the very act of painting.”

ABOUT THE GLEN GRANT

Brothers James and John Grant built The Glen Grant in 1840 as the first distillery in the town of Rothes in Speyside. They left a legacy of ingenuity by engineering the first northern railroad and introducing electric light to both the distillery and the entire town. In 1872, heir James ‘The Major’ Grant, a charismatic innovator and adventurous traveller, inherited the business. Through his intrepid journeys to destinations around the world, he made inspiring discoveries which led to the creation of his sprawling Garden of Splendours, the only distillery garden of its kind in Scotland. Inspired by his splendid garden, he envisioned a distinctive single malt, engineering tall, slender pot stills combined with unique water-cooling purifiers to create the evocative flavour profile that defines The Glen Grant Single Malt Scotch Whisky to this day.

Now, it is Master Distiller Greig Stables and his team of passionate whisky-makers who carry forward the rich legacy of The Glen Grant, following in the footsteps of predecessor Dennis Malcolm OBE, one of the longest-serving distillers in Scotland. The expert distilling team crafts each whisky from barley to bottle entirely on the distillery grounds, maintaining the distinct character of the Glen Grant whiskies and ensuring the utmost quality.

MOBILE OPERATORS ACCOUNT FOR 85% OF INVESTMENTS IN MOBILE INTERNET CONNECTIVITY INFRASTRUCTURE, NEW GSMA REPORT REVEALS

Governments should prioritise pro-investment policies to accelerate network expansion and strengthen digital economies

BARCELONA, Spain, March 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Mobile Network Operators make 85% of the total investment in mobile internet connectivity infrastructure globally, playing the ‘keystone’ role in funding the networks that underpin modern digital economies worldwide, according to a new report by the GSMA and global management consulting firm Kearney.

The ‘Mobile Infrastructure Investment Landscape’ report was published as leaders from across the mobile ecosystem gather at MWC Barcelona, the world’s largest mobile technology event. The report demonstrates that with annual investments in mobile internet infrastructure (excluding end-user devices) reaching $127 billion, MNOs alone contribute $109 billion. Mobile operators make these investments despite deriving less economic benefit than other digital ecosystem players from this critical infrastructure. For example, the amount contributed by MNOs far exceeds the connectivity investments made by other groups of investors, such as cloud service providers and content and application providers (CAPs).

John Giusti, Chief Regulatory Officer of the GSMA, said: “This report makes it clear: mobile network operators are the keystone of the internet economy, funding the vast majority of the infrastructure that enables modern digital life. Whilst others invest in select parts of the world’s connectivity infrastructure, their contributions are a fraction of what MNOs spend to build and maintain the networks that power everything from online banking to remote work and digital entertainment. This study demonstrates clearly that if governments wish to unlock the full potential of their digital economies, they must prioritise policies that create a positive investment environment for MNOs.”

A Call for Policy Action

The report comes at a crucial moment when governments worldwide are seeking to expand digital connectivity and foster economic growth through advanced networks, including 5G and future generations of mobile technology. The findings paint a picture of the investment landscape which reveals:

  • Mobile networks are indispensable to digital progress.
  • Infrastructure investment requires the right regulatory environment.
  • Core and access networks demand significantly higher investment than backbone infrastructure.

To support continued network expansion and innovation, the GSMA urges governments to adopt forward-looking regulatory frameworks that encourage investment in mobile infrastructure, streamline spectrum policies, and create a fair and sustainable financial environment for operators.
