“With unlimited access to the [Grant] family’s private vaults of prized liquids, I was able to explore flavour unbound by region,” said master blender Brian Kinsman. “… What was initially a single whisky has become a series of extremely old and prestigious blended malts and blended whiskies, each one a ,… tribute to Scotland’s vast terrain.”
As well as the Grant’s and Monkey Shoulder blended scotch brands, William Grant also owns the Glenfiddich and The Balvenie single malts. The privately-owned company started this year with a new CEO as former Heineken regional head Søren Hagh took the place of family member Glenn Gordon at the helm.
