Determined to give grain whisky the respect it truly deserves, William Grant & Sons are releasing a range of Girvan Patent Still Single Grain Whiskies, starting with this launch edition of their 25 Year Old, a UK exclusive.
The original Girvan Patent Still was built by William Grant's great-grandson, Charles Gordon, in 1963, when it was given the rather catchy name "No 1 Apps" (referring to the term apparatus). After distillation, this whisky was aged for a massive 25 years before being popped into some incredibly elegant bottles, which are then put into striking boxes that are decorated with metal badges and side panels.
Vanilla fudge, Werther's Original, touch of lemon and lime zest. Peppercorns, banana and honey.
Pleasant mouthfeel with some more vanilla and a little apricot.
Woody, sparkling water.
A well-aged grain whisky that's a big step up from the upcoming no age statement release.
As well as adding gifts to lucky MoM orders, #WhiskySanta is granting wishes on social media every day! Hit the button above and let them know what you'd like. It could be yours!
Are there any original photos of this Whisky being bottled in the late 1980s. Because and I quote "After distillation, this whisky was aged for a massive 25 years before being popped into some incredibly elegant bottles, which are then put into striking boxes that are decorated with metal badges and side panels." I ask this as the bottles and packaging are exactly the same as Penderyn Welsh Malt Whisky?
