Grant's Ale Cask Finish Blended Scotch Whisky

About Grant's Ale Cask Finish Blended Scotch Whisky

Once a cow herder, William Grant secretly learned the trade at the Mortlach Distillery where he was a bookkeeper for two decades. In 1887, William Grant founded his first, family owned distillery in Scotland. At the time, it was operated by his family members – George Grant was the maltman, Charlie Grant handled the tuns, Alec Grant was the still-man and even his daughter Meta helped by bringing them lunch. Possessing the ability to see the bigger picture, William Grant never stopped making whisky, not even during the Prohibition times when other distilleries were shutting their doors. Not Grant – he even increased production, knowing this too shall pass. Today, five generations have passed at William Grant & Sons and among their many high end brands are Glenfiddich and The Balvenie as well as Grant Whisky. With its own team of coopers, distillers and maturation experts, Grant Whisky makes premium, traditional whisky based on William Grant’s original recipe.

It's a little known fact that whisky and ale have matching profiles and Grant’s Ale Cask Edition Whisky is the first blended Scotch to be aged in ale-touched casks. Grant’s Master Blender contacted a local Scottish brewery to source seasoned bourbon casks with their ales. The result is a smooth, rich and creamy flavor profile with a clean and fresh nose, a palate of maple syrup, red apples and honey notes with a long and fresh finish. Bottled at 80 proof, this is a classic Scotch blend with an intriguing finish – something to spice up your home bar.

About Scotch

Scotch is the most popular whisky in the world and is considered the king of them all! There are five whisky regions in Scotland (six if you count the not officially recognized Islands), and each of them produces spirits with unique properties and distinct tasting notes. (The type of grain used determents the type of the scotch.)

Malt whisky is made of malted barley, and grain whisky uses other grains like corn or wheat. Most of the time, a whisky is blended from different distilleries hence the name blended scotch, but if a malt whisky is produced in a single distillery, we get something extraordinary called a single malt.
