30 Years of Rare Beauty
IPL Packaging created an exceptionally sophisticated presentation box for The Glen Grant’s oldest permanent expression, with design by IPL Design that pays homage to the brand’s unique heritage story.
The gift box centres around the symbolism of the Himalayan Blue Poppy – one of earth’s rarest flowers that James ‘The Major’ Grant brought back to Scotland from his Himalayan travels in the 1870s and which still blooms at the distillery today.

Built on an MDF foundation, the box features a dark blue leather-textured outer wrap. Silver foil debossing adds elegant contrast, while the hero element – an embossed blue poppy – creates tactile dimensionality that brings the heritage story to life.
A striking blue electroplated metal swivel latch, designed with the poppy motif, provides both functional access and visual intrigue on the box’s side. Anodised silver L-shaped hinges enable a full 180-degree opening, creating a reveal moment that transforms the packaging into a display piece.
Inside, the luxury continues with cream-coloured felt lining featuring a subtle debossed poppy pattern, that adds tactile richness. The left inner door incorporates a booklet recess with EVA construction, complete with a finger hole for easy removal and blue elasticated corners that secure the accompanying literature.
