Grant's Family Reserve

Nose: light fruit notes, crisp apples, pears, some honey notes, light malt, cereal grain notes, faintest hint of smoke, bright younger feel to it, some sharp notes but nothing harsh, nose is overall very low key and doesn’t jump out at you at all, very soft and subdued. Taste: similar to nose with light fruit notes but with some barrel spice, vanilla, sweet hay, a finish that’s rather short but certainly not bad. For $17, this is actually a decent low budget blend. Overall, it’s just kinda flat and boring. The one thing it does have going for it, it’s not nasty, sharp alcohol in-your-face kind of cheap. If you want something to sip on that’s just plain budget, this one’s for you.

One tastes the 3 different woods that this easy sipping scotch displays.
