Grant's cask edition whisky pt.1

Following my winter trip to Edinburgh i've become somewhat interested in whisky. This is the first review in the after hours series of articles, that looks at the world of whisky.

Type: Blended whisky
Cask: Ale cask
Strength: 40%

Colour: Deep gold.

Aroma: Dried fruit, sweet and spicy, reminiscent of a Christmas pudding.

Taste:  Smooth vanilla creaminess initially, with hints of malt. There's a kick of spritzy fresh green apples and a mellow pear finish.

Verdict: A perfectly good blended whisky, finished in ale casks which is a nice touch, and provides it with a complexity of different aromas and flavours.
