Grant's Ale Cask Scotch

(0)

"Our Ale Cask is the only Scotch to be finished in barrels that once held ale, giving it an irresistible creamy maltiness. To those who brewed the beer and built the barrels, we say #IOU. We wouldn’t have this amazing dram without you. Not only perfect for bringing to friend’s houses for big sporting occasions, like the boules championships, but also great for saying ‘cheers for teaching me to dance’ or ‘thanks for lending me your horse.’"
