Whiskies from 'William Grant & Sons Ltd'

Read the Whisky Magazine tastings notes for whiskies from William Grant & Sons Ltd.

• Gibson’s Bourbon Cask

• Gibson’s Finest

• Gibson’s Finest 12 Years Old

Pleasant and well-balanced, with a freshness and confidence.

• Gibson’s Finest 18 Years Old

Appetising, Very enjoyable.

• Gibson’s Finest Stirling

Is there enough of a bridge between the youngest and oldest whiskies?

• Monkey Shoulder Batch 27

An elegant dram, dominated by orange and spices. For a Christmas treat? Water is not needed.

• William Grant's

• William Grant's 12 Years Old, Premium

• William Grant's 15 Years Old

Quite an assertive blend. The nose delivers to the palate but it tastes older than 15 years.

• William Grant's 15 Years Old

A dessert malt? Remarkably sweet and chocolatey until water is added.

• William Grant's 18 Years Old

The nose lets us expect some exotic promises. Did too much dilution blow all that galore off? Disappointing.

• William Grant's 18 Years Old, Deluxe Blend

Leans toward peat-smoke, but beautifully composed. Luxurious. With a cigar?

• William Grant's 18 Years Old, Premium

• William Grant's 25 Years Old

A long maturation for a blend, but this has emerged with confidence, style and sophistication.

• William Grant's Ale Cask Reserve

Fresh and seductively drinkable. I'm astonished how well this innovation worked. The ale was brewed especially to add much more malty sweetness than hop.

• William Grant's Sherry Cask

Masculine. Rather austere, aloof.

• William Grant's The Family Reserve

I have always felt this blend to lack dimension but, as it warmed in the glass, more flavours emerged, especially heathery-peaty elements. Also a more honeyed, malty fullness.
