Grant’s Ale Cask Finish Blended Whisky

in a statement. “We have the end result in mind as we craft all our whiskies, but there is something special about adding the final touch with an interesting finish. The resulting flavor of the whisky is so reminiscent of the liquid previously held in the cask, it takes the drinker’s palate on a really remarkable journey.”

Official tasting notes for what’s said to be “the first ever ale cask finish whisky” are below from Grant’s. Should you want to track down a bottle of this Scotch, expect to pay around $20 for the 40% ABV offering.

Nose: Clean and fresh, with creamy maltiness. Subtle elderflower and heather.
Palate: Maple syrup, red apples and honey. Hints of oak in the background.
Finish: Long, fresh with bags of fruit notes and hints of citrus.
