Grants Cask Edition No 1 Ale Cask Blended Scotch Whisky 40%

An ale cask for a Scotch blend sounds like an unusual combination – but Grant's has found a way to give their classic blend a new twist with the Cask Edition series.

Expert's Description

Grant's Cask Edition No. 1 is a Blended Scotch Whisky where part of the blend has been given extra maturation or a finish in a cask that previously held ale.
