About Grant’s Triple Wood: Many whiskies take their flavor from just one cask, but Triple Wood is matured in three different types of woods: Virgin Oak cask, which provides spicy robustness, American Oak, which lends subtle vanilla smoothness and the Bourbon refill, which offers brown sugar sweetness, resulting in a smoother, richer, mellower taste. It has the notes of ripe pear and summer fruits and has a long and sweet finish with a subtle hint of smoke.
Tasting Notes
