Grant’s Triple Wood Blended Scotch [1000ML]

In 1886, William Grant started working in the distillery business as a bookkeeper. In 1898, Pattison, the largest Scotch whisky blender at the time, went bankrupt and William Grant stepped in and launched Grant’s whisky. William Grant died in 1923 but by this time, the family business was well established. Later, William’s son-in-law Charles Gordon became the company’s first salesman, and in 1909 spent a year taking Grant’s to Australia and the Far East.

In 1963, William’s great-grandson, Charles Gordon, oversaw construction of the Girvan grain distillery – now the world’s second largest grain whisky producer. Today, Grant’s continues to be family-owned and run. The current CEO, Peter Gordon, is the fifth generation of the family to head the business. The company’s leading blended whisky, Grant’s Family Reserve, was the number three best seller in this category, forcing competitor Chivas Regal into fourth place.

Grant’s is the oldest family-owned blended whisky and is currently sold in over 180 countries. It is the world’s fourth largest Scotch whisky brand, selling 4.1 million cases of whisky in the first half of 2020. The master blender of Grant’s is Brian Kinsman, who succeeded David Stewart who had been in his post for 47 years, the longest serving master blender with one distiller in the industry. Grant’s bottle is the same as the triangular bottle of the Glenfiddich because they are both owned by the same company.

Grant’s Triple Wood is a blended scotch whisky aged in three different types of barrels: Virgin oak, American oak, and refill Bourbon oak. Bottled at the standard 40% ABV.
