I'm having a little bit of fun with 50ml samplers that I purchased from Total Wine.
I am completely unfamiliar with Grangestone and I have never had any of this brand of whisky before. I sampled this neat from a Glencairn and gave the whiskey ample opportunity to rest before tasting.
The nose is pretty nondescript. I get a little honey, some ethanol, a bit of a light grain note, perhaps a bit flowery. Certainly nothing special about it. There is also nothing off-putting.
It has a surprisingly good mouth feel, with a soft entry and a wave of sweetness. The finish goes a bit bitter after the swallow. A bit of wood is what's left as an aftertaste.
There's really not much to it and there's nothing to get excited about. 2.5 stars for being wholly average and, I'm assuming, pretty inexpensive.
