Grants Cask Edition No 3 Nordic Oak Cask Blended Scotch Whisky 100 cl 40%

Nordic oak instead of American or European – Grant's third release in the Cask Edition series draws inspiration from forests closer to our own backyard.

Expert's Description

Did You Know?

Nordic oak grows more slowly than American oak, giving denser wood with a different pore structure – this can give whisky a more spiced, dry character than the classic bourbon and sherry casks.
