Grants Signature – with the blue label – with the original

Grants – the whisky people – have just produced a new line of whisky. Grants Signature whisky comes with a distinctive blue label. But more importantly, it has a pleasantly biscuity and caramel taste.

Grants is a blended whisky rather than a single malt – so none of those flavours of peat and heather that whiskey lovers like to go on about. But it is a very good blended whisky – crisp, clean and has none of that burnt after-taste that you often get with cheap drinks.

As a seasonal drink, Grants Signature makes a pleasant change from the original (with the red label). Oh, and it’s a great mixer. When there’s a touch of frost in the air, there’s nothing nicer than a good whisky with a splash of ginger wine on top – preferably consumed in front of an open fire. Grants Signature is ideally suited for this treatment.

Grants signature is £19 for 75cl at most supermarkets.
