At the core of Grant’s success is its unique Triple Wood Process—using three distinct types of barrels to shape the whisky’s flavour: virgin oak for bold spice, American oak for smooth vanilla, and sherry casks for a touch of sweetness. This meticulous approach to blending results in a whisky that stands out in taste and character. It sets Grant’s apart from other brands, offering consumers a whisky that’s as rich in flavour as it is in heritage.
GRANT’S WHISKY TASTING NOTES:
Grant’s Triple Wood:
Vacuum distilled at a lower temperature to make it a lighter and more delicate spirit, it is then aged in oak to give it a more profound, sweeter, soft fruit flavour, creating the perfect foundation.
NOSE: Complex, clean with notes of ripe pear and summer fruits.
TASTE: Balances vanilla sweetness with malty and light floral fragrances.
FINISH: Long and sweet with a subtle hint of peat.
Grant’s Triple Wood 12:
Using the Triple Wood process, Grant’s Triple Wood 12 is also matured in three types of casks. Sherry cask is used in place of virgin oak, giving a sweet spice flavour. The sweet, spice & vanilla from the three casks – Sherry, American Oak & Refill Bourbon are blended after a minimum aging of 12 years, creating the perfect balance around the core fruity flavour.
NOSE: Sweet and sherry-like, with dried fruits. Subtle woody notes and malty undertones.
TASTE: Vanilla, honey and spice. All mixed for a rich, sweet flavour. Aged grains and peated malt add depth, too.
FINISH: Long, soothing, and warm, a feeling you won’t want to rush.
