The last bottle of Stand Fast I tasted about a year ago was pretty delicious, so you can imagine how delighted I was when I came across this slightly later version of the same blend.

		<description><![CDATA[Hello all,
Grant’s Cask Edition No1 is the only Scotch whisky matured in ale casks so it’s not surprising I am often asked about how exactly this blend comes into being.
A common misconception is that Ale Cask Edition is a ‘simple’ finished version of The Family Reserve. In fact, it is not. The Family Reserve is [...]]]></description>

In 1909, William Grant’s son-in-law wrote in his diary ‘All things must yield to industry and time. None cease to rise but those who cease to climb’.  We like to think that we apply this ethos to all the work we undertake here at Grant’s.

I hope you found many bottles of whisky under the tree this morning.

Wishing you all a joyous day!
