This Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky is produced by Lismore and owned by J&G Grant in Speyside, Scotland. Made from malted barley, it is aged in oak casks for at least three years. This single malt is bottled at 40% ABV and retails for around $27.99.
You’re not going to have the time of your life with this bottle, but it may be passable as a housewarming present for a co-worker, something to bring to a dinner party in lieu of wine, or as a pre-game bottle to share with friends in a parking lot before a Steely Dan/Steve Winwood double bill.
A good accompanying act, something that won’t break the bank but is still an enjoyable experience. And that’s why I always keep a bottle somewhere in the house. It might not be prominently on the bar, but it’s never far from reach.
It’s not going to wow you, nor is it trying to, but if you’re maybe just starting out in the Single Malt world and want to test out the value priced end of the pool before jumping into the deeper end this wouldn’t be a bad way to go.
