You are currently viewing the Whisky category or one of its subcategories. If you aren't clear as to what Whisky actually is, perhaps you should read a definition (Though you may want to brush up on your Scots before you do, in which case Whisky will be very helpful anyway). If you would like to see more reviews, I suggest you start here. I tend to grow excited and wax lyrical when I talk about Whisky (as you might have concluded yourself from the reviews below), so I will limit myself to saying that I believe it to be one of the most special and wonderful drinks in the world, and that I'm quite sure that, if there is indeed a God, Whisky must be the last thing he made before resting.

Grants is one of the first blends I was exposed to and is one I still enjoy from time to time. Glen Fiddich is one of its main components and it takes so much after it that it would be worthwhile to read my review on that Whisky for reference. Grants smells strongly of malt and soft leather, perhaps with a hint of cherries to elevate and freshen it. In the mouth, it feels nice and rich, starting with malt and evolving into chocolate, which gradually thickens with some slight smoke, a hint of peat, and the grittiness of the oak, all conspiring to complement the aforementioned chocolate. This is a good, smooth blend with no harshness or jarring points whatsoever, and its rich thickness makes it a very pleasant drink indeed, for the money; however, it lacks strong defining characteristics, and, as such, is to me more of a good [/Whisky/Scotch] permanent link |
