CAMPARI JAPAN Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo / President and CEO: Kenji Holzer) has announced a packaging design renewal for Glen Grant Single Malt Scotch Whisky.
Refined New Packaging Featuring the Brand's Iconic Blue Poppy
James Grant (known as "The Major"), the son of Glen Grant's founder who transformed the brand into a worldwide name, was both a pioneering whisky maker and an adventurous world traveler. While journeying across the globe in search of inspiration for exceptional whisky, The Major explored the Himalayan mountains, where he encountered the rare and delicate Blue Poppy. Captivated by its beauty, he brought the flower back to Scotland and carefully cultivated it in the distillery gardens. This story has made the Blue Poppy a lasting symbol of the Glen Grant brand. Even today, the flower blooms vibrantly in the distillery's gardens each season, quietly embodying Glen Grant's spirit of exploration and craftsmanship.

About Glen Grant
In pursuit of the most elegant single malt.
Glen Grant was elevated to a worldwide brand by James Grant, known as "The Major," the son of the distillery's founder. When he inherited the distillery in 1872, he possessed a strong commitment to craftsmanship. He had a pure and powerful desire to create something truly unique among Speyside single malt whiskies.
In search of ideas for whisky making, during an era when the world seemed much larger than today, he traveled globally, seeking rare and beautiful things from various regions. With deep respect for nature, The Major was drawn to flowers and plants from around the world, bringing them back to create a magnificent garden around the distillery. The colors, scents, and even sounds of nature—changing throughout the day and across seasons—became vital inspiration, marking the beginning of his pursuit of elegance.
To realize the elegant flavor he envisioned, The Major focused on every step from raw materials to bottling, beginning with the design of tall, slender pot stills and the installation of water-cooled purifiers, creating Glen Grant's distinctive taste and aroma.
A glass of Glen Grant is like a bouquet in a glass. Please savor the result of over 180 years of pursuit for the most elegant single malt.
