Le Clos Adds To Its Range Of Exclusives With The Glen Grant 50 Year Old Whisky

Le Clos, the fine wine and luxury spirits retailer, has fast become a leader in securing some of the most exclusive products in the world for its customers travelling through Dubai International airport – the most recent, a US$ 13,900 bottle of whisky.

The exceptionally rare Glen Grant 50 Year Old is now available at Le Clos, which is the exclusive retailer for the Middle East market. This timeless collector’s item follows a raft of rare and unique products launched in-store for its customers.

The limited edition bottle release is borne from one special cask after patiently ageing for over 50 years. Bottled at the peak of its maturity, this extremely rare single malt is beautifully presented in a hand-blown crystal decanter, hand-engraved with the number 50 in 18-carat gold lettering.

As global consumers continue to look for quality and provenance as well as more unique and special products, Le Clos uses its expertise and strong brand relationships to provide an exceptional portfolio at what is now considered the world’s busiest airport in terms of international passengers*.

Ben Odgers, General Manager at Le Clos, commented, “We are committed to delivering a world class portfolio and service to our customers from around the world. Therefore, we are delighted to showcase the rare Glen Grant 50 Year Old for the first time in the Middle East. We are proud to have such an exciting range of fine wines and luxury spirits, some are true hidden gems that we have made available to connoisseurs for the first time ever.”

Andrew Holmes, Global Travel Retail Director, Gruppo Campari, commented, “After patiently maturing and awaiting this whisky for 50 years, we are now handing its care over to Le Clos at Dubai International airport. As experts in presenting and retailing luxury spirits, we are delighted that Le Clos will showcase the Glen Grant 50 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky at the crossroads of the world, where it will be accessible to global connoisseurs.”

Complementing its exclusives range, the award-winning retailer has an extensive portfolio of more than 1,200 fine wines and 400 luxury spirits from all four corners of the globe. This, as well as its unique services such as the complimentary bottle engraving, in-store tastings and a concierge delivery service highlight Le Clos’ dedication to providing a world class shopping experience for its customers.
