Product description
Sales of 4.2 million cases in 2019 gave Grant's the fourth place in the ranking of the most popular Scotch whiskies, behind Johnnie Walker, Ballantine's and Chivas Regal (a year earlier, Grant's was third with 4.6 million cases).
The 12-year-old Grant's Triple Wood presented here joined the company's lineup in early 2021 and strengthens its position in the "premium blends" segment. The components used in the formula came from three types of casks: American oak, refill bourbon casks and sherry casks. The latter, according to blending master Brian Kinsman, balance the sweetness of vanilla with notes of spice. The 12-year-old is presented in an elegant black triple-walled bottle that immediately catches the eye of a potential customer.
