Grants Sherry Cask

What some of our whisky enthusiast friends have said about Grants Sherry Cask

Quote 1 “As a relatively experienced single malt lover and recently financially handicapped, I found myself pining for a decent dram at a price point that fit my new limited budget and saw the Grant’s sherry finished blended on the shelf next to the basic Grant’s at a 15% premium. So I decided to take the plunge. Expectations are everything in life and I refused to allow myself to fall into the trap of expecting single malt brilliance. That being said, I approached the experience with an eye to just having a “decent” dram with dinner and to my surprise I thoroughly enjoyed it.

So much so that before I knew it half the bottle had been consumed. It seemed to me to be a poor man’s Fiddich 12 with lovely caramel, barley and sherry notes on the nose and a very lovely semi-sweet palate presence that was very different from most of the very “grainy” blended whiskies that I had previously experienced. In fact, I decided that it would become my new daily dram in my new constrained budget lifestyle. I began reading as many reviews as I could find and most were not very complimentary. My own experience was very different. A very enjoyable entry level priced whiskey and I highly recommend it as an alternative to many blended whiskies and some overly hyped and pricier single malts.”

Quote 2 “Has an amazing character for a blended. Is the best scotch at its price point on the market, and is much superior to many of the standard single malts. Very nice sophisticated finish.”
