Grant's cask edition whisky pt.2

An after hours feature on the Commercial Room today. Here's a Friday afternoon look at the second of Grant's Cask Conditioned Whisky editions.

Country: Scotland
Distiller: William Grant & Sons
Type: Blended whisky
Cask: Sherry cask
Strength: 40%

Colour: Deep gold.

Aroma: Spicy dried fruit, old oak.

Taste:  Very dry initially, with an obvious bite of sherry.  Raisins, honey and cinnamon are also detected.

Verdict: Not as mellow as the Ale cask finish, it has a drier and warmer burning finish. It will suit those who prefer a sharper, drier bite to their whisky.
