Background & production

A blended Scotch from William Grant & Sons, which traces its roots to William Grant opening his first distillery in Scotland in 1887. Five generations on, the company is still family owned.

Triple Wood uses whiskies matured in three types of cask: virgin oak for spicy robustness, American oak for smooth vanilla, and refill bourbon casks for brown-sugar sweetness. It was formerly sold as Family Reserve.

It carries no age statement and is bottled at 40% ABV.
