Grant's Rum Cask Finish

Blended — Scotland

Reviewed May 2, 2026
3.0
3.0 out of 5 stars
Review #70 - Whisk(e)y #52 A 1L travel exclusive rum cask finish, bought for around 17 euros or so. Chill-filtered - Yes Added colour - Yes ABV - 40% Aspect - Golden colour, perhaps slight orange hue, relatively oily in glass. Nose - Sweet, honey, caramel, oak, crispbread - cereal, seeds, ripe apples, oranges, grain spice. Palate - Albeit initially quite viscous, sweet, with honey and caramel...it becomes thin on the mid-palate, with sharp and youthful grain spice and some orchard fruit. Finish - Short-medium...this is where the rum cask finish shines through! Sweet tropical fruit, prickly pineapple, mango, slight bitterness...along the lines of grapefruit towards the after-taste, with some cereal and herbal / vegetable notes. Very enjoyable! My first rum cask whisky, and it is really drinkable! Yes, it's rather thin...yes, it is mostly grain whisky, with barely any malted barley in its composition...yes it is youthful and sharp on the mid-palate...but for 17 euros per liter it can be very enjoyable for beginners, or people who drink whisky without overthinking aromas and chasing unchillfiltered high-proof single malts.
