Grant's Triple Wood Smoky

Better than I expected from Grant's. Nose: Charred smoke, Highland peat, plus the classic grainy profile of the base Triple Wood. I actually didn't enjoy that base one at all, but this Smoky edition does have some interesting character to it. Taste: Smoke to Highland peat, then a fair share of grainy notes that surprisingly taste better than the base edition. I'm very tempted to say I actually like this blend. Finish: Smoke and peat closes out the dram with a moderate finish for its class. Final thoughts: I tried this after Teacher's and I can firmly say this is a bit of an upgrade, if you're looking for a peated blend. The peat here is very light and mellow, but nicely weaved into the classic Grant's profile, which usually has nothing interesting to offer. I would consider buying this again for mixing.
