As Calgary’s premier barbecue and drink festival returns to The Confluence, Grant’s Blended Scotch Whisky is celebrating the best of summer barbecue and live-fire cooking. As a proud partner of Brewery and the Beast, Grant’s Whisky will elevate an unforgettable day of smoky flavours, expertly crafted drinks, and exceptional culinary experiences alongside more than 60 of Calgary and Banff’s award-winning restaurants and top culinary talents.

Known for its smooth, approachable character, Grant’s Triple Wood Blended Scotch Whisky is crafted using three distinct types of wood, each contributing layers of flavour and complexity. Notes of vanilla, spice and subtle sweetness make it a natural complement to the bold, smoky flavours of barbecue, whether enjoyed neat, over ice or in refreshing whisky cocktails. Whether discovering a new favourite cocktail or enjoying a classic pour, festivalgoers are invited to savour every moment with a whisky made for sharing.

Guests of Brewery and the Beast Calgary will have the opportunity to enjoy two specially curated serves, the Grant’s Whisky Calgary Smash, a blend of Grant’s Triple Wood, honey, lemon, Alberta honeyberries and mint, and Grant’s Whisky & Cola, a tried and true classic elevated with fresh orange. Those who prefer their whisky neat can experience the complex, clean notes of pear and summer fruits with samples of Grant’s Triple Wood paired with their barbecued favourites at Brewery and the Beast.

Calgary’s popular Brewery and the Beast festival brings together more than 2400 guests for an extraordinary culinary experience featuring renowned chefs and some of Calgary and Banff’s award-winning restaurants. Chefs prepare their dishes with local ingredients and live-fire cooking, ensuring fresh, bold flavours in every bite. With all culinary offerings and drink pairings included with admission, Brewery and the Beast provides the perfect opportunity to experience Grant’s Triple Wood this barbecue season, inspiring whisky lovers and newcomers alike to discover its heritage and genuine connection.

Six generations of Grants have stood together through thick and thin to hold the title of Scotland’s oldest continuously family-run, blended whisky makers. From the highly skilled Coopers who tend the casks, to the distillers and maturation experts, Grant’s Whisky stays true to William Grant’s original, closely guarded recipe. It just goes to show that when the right people stand together, great things happen.

Crafted using a unique Triple Wood maturation process, Grant’s Triple Wood is matured in three different casks: Virgin Oak delivers warm spice, American Oak adds soft vanilla, and Bourbon Refill adds brown sugar sweetness. The result is a smooth, approachable whisky that works in simple drinks, classic cocktails, or just on its own. That dedication to craftsmanship has earned Grant’s Whisky a Gold medal at the 2025 International Wine & Spirits Competition and a Silver medal at the 2025 International Spirits Challenge.

Grant’s Triple Wood Blended Scotch Whisky is available at liquor retailers across Canada. Please contact your local retailer for specific product availability.
