Grant’s Triple Wood Blended Scotch Whisky is a smooth, rich, and mellow expression from Scotland’s oldest continuously family-run blended whisky maker — five generations of the Grant family, true to William Grant’s original closely guarded recipe since 1887. Matured in three different types of wood: Virgin Oak for spicy robustness, American Oak for subtle vanilla smoothness, and Bourbon refill casks for brown sugar sweetness. Complex on the nose with clean notes of ripe pear and summer fruits; vanilla sweetness balanced with malty and light floral fragrances; a long, sweet finish with a subtle hint of smoke. 700mL.
Tasting Notes
Appearance
Warm golden amber — the classic colour of a triple wood matured blended Scotch, reflecting the depth and richness of Virgin Oak, American Oak, and Bourbon refill cask maturation from Scotland’s oldest family-run blended whisky maker.
Aroma
Complex and inviting — clean notes of ripe pear and summer fruits lead with freshness and vibrancy, balanced by vanilla sweetness and malty, light floral fragrances. The three-cask maturation adds a layered complexity that sets Grant’s Triple Wood apart from single-cask blended Scotch expressions.
Palate
Smooth, rich, and mellow — the spicy robustness of Virgin Oak, the subtle vanilla smoothness of American Oak, and the brown sugar sweetness of Bourbon refill casks combine seamlessly on the palate. A blended Scotch of genuine depth and approachability, finishing long and sweet with a subtle hint of smoke that lingers beautifully.
Pairs With
Grant’s Triple Wood is supremely versatile — equally compelling neat, on the rocks, or as the base of a classic Scotch highball with ginger ale and a squeeze of lemon. Pairs beautifully with dark chocolate, shortbread, smoked salmon, aged cheddar, and charcuterie. Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled.
Who Should Drink This?
Grant’s Triple Wood is for anyone who wants a smooth, rich, and approachable blended Scotch with genuine complexity at an everyday price point — from whisky newcomers discovering the category for the first time to seasoned drinkers who appreciate the craft and heritage of Scotland’s oldest family-run blended whisky maker. The three-cask maturation delivers a depth and character that punches well above its price point.
Why Is Grant’s Famous?
It was in 1887 that William Grant opened his first distillery in Scotland with the help of his seven sons and two daughters — establishing a family legacy that five generations later remains entirely family owned. Grant’s holds the title of Scotland’s oldest continuously family-run blended whisky maker, staying true to William Grant’s original, closely guarded recipe through the highly skilled Coopers who tend their casks, the distillers, and the maturation experts who have maintained the Grant’s standard for over 135 years.
What Makes Triple Wood Different?
Many whiskies take their flavour from just one cask — Grant’s Triple Wood is matured in three different types of wood, each contributing a distinct character to the final blend. Virgin Oak provides spicy robustness; American Oak lends subtle vanilla smoothness; Bourbon refill casks offer brown sugar sweetness. The result is a smoother, richer, mellower blended Scotch of genuine complexity — a whisky that delivers more than its price would suggest.
