About Glen Grant
“Glen Grant distillery was founded in 1840 in Rothes, Speyside, and produces single malt Scotch whisky.”From Wikipedia, CC BY-SA
The Scotch Malt Whisky Society bottles single casks under numeric codes rather than distillery names, so a label reading 9.403 means cask 403 from distillery 9. That distillery is Glen Grant, in Speyside. More on Glen Grant at Wikipedia.
