Grant's Standfast Cream Label Bottled 1970's

Grant's Triple Wood

Nose: a bit sweet. Also dank, mossy. Dried orange peel, raisin, damp wood, very slight peat. A decent range of aromas, but ultimately quite thin. Taste: that hard bite of young grain whisky. A bit more peat smoke than was evident on the nose (though not a peaty whisky per se), a bit less fruity sweetness. Finish: sweetness goes over to bitterness...

Score 66/100

Grant's Family Reserve

I picked up a bottle of Grant’s very reluctantly in 2005 after reading Jim Murray’s praise for the blend. I was very board by it at the time. But over the years I keep coming back to it (I always like to keep at least one blend around). My wife’s favorite drink is a Blood and Sand. Her favorite scotch for said cocktail is Lagavulin 16yo . . ....

Score 83/100

Grant's The Knot

As I swirled the syrupy liquid in the glencairn and the pungent aroma of caramel and vanilla wafted toward me, I looked over at the bottle and said 'ooohh...Im going to regret you, aren't I?' I've been drinking whisky for long enough and learned enough now that I have certain expectations- not many, at this price point, but above all, I expect...

Grant's Sherry Cask Reserve

Funny how this label is still not on connosr - it's a decent blended Scotch, nothing spectacular but I do like it. Thin bodied with a light-to-medium amber colour - but a fairly complex aroma of olive oil, sherry and a hint of mango. Buttery taste of tropical fruit, slightly sweet-n-smoky and some light caramel. Long warm finish.

Score 80/100
