Known as Grant's Triple Wood, this expression earned Gold at the International Wine \u0026amp; Spirit Competition in both 2024 and 2025 — a meaningful achievement for a blend at this price tier.

Grant's Triple Wood is assembled from a blend of single malt whiskies, including components from Glenfiddich and The Balvenie, married with Girvan grain whisky. What distinguishes this blend from most competitors in its category is its three-wood maturation: Virgin Oak casks contribute spicy robustness, American Oak barrels add subtle vanilla smoothness, and Bourbon refill casks layer in brown sugar sweetness. The company has employed this three-wood system for over 20 years, and it remains the expression's defining production signature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ripe pear and summer fruits lead the nose, followed by clean honeyed malt and a light floral quality.
