Grant’s Family Reserve (also known more recently as Grant’s Triple Wood in many markets) is a blended Scotch whisky by William Grant & Sons (Scotland). It’s a no-age-statement whisky composed of a mix of malt and grain whiskies, matured in a trio of oak casks: virgin oak, American oak, and refill American oak. Bottled at 40% ABV, this expression emphasizes balance, light sweetness, and approachability.
