Whisky Grants William. Grants is one of the most popular Scotch whiskies in the world and is enjoyed by over 180 countries. Created in 1898 by William Grant. Today, five generations later, it is in the trusted hands of Master Blender, owned by Grants, Brian Kinsman. Brian skillfully mixes about 25 of the finest Scottish malt and grain whiskies to create Grants. Its base is the widely recognized grain whisky from the Girvan region. After being distilled under vacuum at low temperature to make it lighter and more refined, it is aged in oak wood to obtain a deeper, sweeter, softer fruity aroma, creating the perfect base. Taking a sip you will notice a clear Speyside style with folds of malt notes. You may find that the sweetness of banana and vanilla balances perfectly with the sharpest tones of malt. It is the clearest expression of the perfectly balanced style of the Grants family.
