Grant’s Triple Wood Whisky owes its signature depth and balance to maturation in three types of casks: Virgin Oak for warm spice, American Oak for smooth vanilla, and Refill Bourbon for subtle sweetness. This triple wood technique ensures every cocktail hits the perfect note, whether you’re hosting a lively game night or enjoying a quiet chat in the kitchen. Six generations of the Grant family have refined this approach, making Scotland’s oldest family-run blended whisky a longstanding symbol of connection. This year, Grant’s was recognized with Gold at the 2025 International Wine & Spirits Competition and Silver at the 2025 International Spirits Challenge.
Whatever the vibe of your holiday circle, there’s a Grant’s serve ready to match it and help make the season unforgettable.
