CaskX Whiskey Investment Specialists hosted an exclusive
Glen Grant 72 VIP Whisky Tasting event on Thursday, October 19th, in Beverly Hills at a private estate. The tasting offered guests the opportunity to experience some of the finest whisky of all time, including the super exclusive Glen Grant 72 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky from Gordon & MacPhail. Hosted by actor and entrepreneur Oliver Trevena, with CaskX Founder + CEO Jeremy Kasler, other VIP notables present included worldwide Mexican soccer star Javiar “Chicharito” Hernandez (LA Galaxy), actors Peter Facinelli, DeVaughn Nixon (Winning Time/Snowfall), Ross McCall, Brock O’Hurn, Cory George, Lorenzo Antonucci, UFC Champion MMA fighter Luke Rockhold, among several others at the intimate affair plus actress Candela Marquez and actress Chaley Rose who performed with Pink Floyd’s Scott Page.
Only a handful of bottles of the Gordon & MacPhail’s Glen Grant 72 yr old exist and it has been described as one of “the most historically significant whiskeys ever produced.” The total production was limited to 290 bottles, with 200 sold before in pre-allocation before release. The rare and highly collectible whisky, which was presented in a hand-cut crystal decanter, was sold alongside a single one-off NFT artwork and its original by celebrated political cartoonist Harry Harrison, entitled ‘Year of the Dram 1948’ commemorating 1948 [the year the whisky was made] on 20 May 2021 in Hong Kong for a record HK $937,500 (just under £95,000) including buyer’s premium. The current value for the Glen Grant 72 is listed as $126,666.00 for the 1000 ml bottle.
The evening took place poolside featuring Whiskey Cocktails by Old Glory, a distillery partner of CaskX served by expert mixologists, Aged Whisky Tastings by Glen Grant, an exquisite charcuterie and appetizer spread by Marven Marvelous Creations, a delectable Caviar sampling station by Golden Reserve Caviar, and custom glass decanter engraving, all under the Los Angeles moonlight.
