The 'single' in 'single malt' simply means that the whisky is the product of a single distillery. Therefore, while a single malt can contain whisky from many different casks, all of this whisky must have been produced by one distillery.Red apples, spicy strudel, toffee, sherry and dried fruits. Christmas cake in a glass. Lots of Sherry, honey, oak with a developing aromatic sensation. Ends with a heavenly cinnamon nip.
This is a really nice and tasty scotch with a very nice toffee and slightly smoky finish . Lots of fruit in the nose and taste and just an altogether quality whisky.
Like all malt whiskies the barley is soaked in water and spread out on the floor of the malthouse and turned regularly. Usually once germination has taken place it is dried using the smoke from peat fires which imparts an aromatic smoky flavour to the drying malt.
The firm is still wholly owned by the Grant family (now in its fifth generation), and has expanded to include three more malt distilleries [Balvenie, Kininvie and Ailsa Bay], a grain plant [Girvan] and other brands such as Monkey Shoulder and Hendrick's gin.
