A blended whisky from William Grant & Sons, finished in oloroso sherry casks. Lovely balance.
The nose is quite light and fruity. There are notes of nut oils and mixed peels, hints of honey and a little oaken note. The palate is of medium-body and quite well-balanced. There are notes of sherried peels and sultanas, winter fruitcake with spice and developing oak. The finish is nutty and long with dried fruit notes.
£5.57 - £35.95
Very very good whiskey. The taste, nose, and very smooth. Well balanced, prefer it just on the rocks. Sadly becoming scarce in SA.
I wouldn't normally buy Grants for anything other than mixers but this is a lovely nip for the money :)
Pretty good run of the mill whisky. Quite light and balanced. I prefer teachers because of the added peated malt but that seems to have been removed from Tesco at the moment. Would recommend.
I am someone who can not afford the $100 a bottle scotch, but we do enjoy having a healthy dram at the end of the evening. This is one of our "go to" scotch. It has some good flavors on the nose but what we really liked is the peat / smoke after taste. We are big fans of Johnnie Walker Swing and this really reminded us of a "younger" Swing. This is a great inexpensive scotch for under $20.00 that did not have much burn. Splash some JW Swing and it changes the chemistry completely and makes it a pretty smooth sit out and reflect on the day dram.
**Compulsory "This is not a single malt statement!* I really wanted to try the "Ale Cask" edition which I believe partners this blended whisky with Innes & Gunn scottish ale casks. Unfortunately the shop didn't have it, but did have an offer on this version (Sherry Cask). If you are looking for a Macallan or Balvenie{Doublewood} experience from this, then you're in the wrong demographic. Like many I enjoy a dram or two a day, this does not make me a raging alcoholic, but I do get through a bit too much liquid gold! Considering this: I have been exploring the world of blended malts over the last 12 months. Grants have proved to be a very consistent and reliable distillery, and in the whole deliver many strong contenders in the "competetively priced" category. Sherry Cask; This is a young whisky but skillfully blended. The nosing is subtle oakish-ness and citrus fruit, with just a hint of spice. Make sure to leave long enough that some of the initial overpowering alcohol can evaporate! Tasting; Not a great deal going on over the standard "Grants Reserve" release, one or two of the harsh characteristics of "Reserve" have been shaved off. There is a very mild dried-fruit character;think orange/lemon pith {Xmas cake}, but you have to work it around your tongue for that to emerge. Something tells me that this may have only been resting in sherry casks for 6 months (if that!). All in all, I enjoyed this blend. Measure your expectations...and your glass!! 7/10.
