Noob here.

I've bought a bottle of Glen Grant Pure Malt at auction, I've no idea how old it is and looking through the internet is not getting me anywhere.

The label looks standard enough with the red lion under the Pure Malt sign, this seems common except not in 43% bottles. Also, the presentation case, it looks a bit 90's but I've no idea.

The curious thing is the B114 label, if I search I get Glenlivet but nothing for Glen Grant, what does it mean? Also, it's a millennium presentation case if that helps.

Here's some photos:

Any help with this is greatly appriciated.

I believe the B114 is a code indicating the bottle was an import, it may also say somewhere on the tube or bottle that it was imported. Also sometimes bottles for overseas markets were sometimes bottled at a slightly higher strength, I would guess it is perhaps a 1980's bottling.

Open it and enjoy.

Thanks, I've heard elsewhere it's a 90s bottle from Japan, worth 30 quid.
