Grant's Family Reserve Blended Scotch Whisky, produced in Speyside, Scotland, is crafted by Master Blender Brian Kinsman. Created in 1898 by William Grant, this whisky is a blend of approximately 25 single malt and grain Scotch whiskies. The foundation is Girvan grain whisky, vacuum distilled at low temperatures, then aged in oak.
This is a good starter scotch. It is a cut above scotch whiskeys like J&B, and just sophisticated enough that a novice can learn something from the drink without being overwhelmed. It is also mild and consistent, two virtues that make Grant’s approachable.
Palate is very nice with floral, intensely grainy and off-dry flavors; midpalate displays harmonious flavors including black pepper, honey, light caramel and wood resin.
