These drams were picked by Billy @BillyCowan

Virtual tasting: All Hail The Grain with Duncan Taylor

"Do you fancy another tasting?" seems to be a constant question during this period of lockdown and there seems to be a whole lot more around.

This time around I think it was @TheWhiskyNovice who asked the question, "What are we drinking?" was my reply....

What's coming out of Girvan these days?

William Grant and Sons' Girvan distillery complex in Ayrshire has released a number of new whiskies over the last few years - let's take a look at some of them.

Girvan distillery was built on the Ayrshire coast near the beautiful Ailsa Bay, overlooking Kintyre,  Arran and Ailsa Craig, in 1963 to supply grain whisky to Grant's blended brands. Ladyburn Distillery was built within the complex in 1965 to produce malt whisky but was closed in 1975. Ailsa Bay malt distillery was built on the site in 2007.

What's Grain Whisky all about then?

I've recently tried quite a few Grain whiskies, and been impressed by some of them, so much so that I've crossed out the word malt in my blog description!

So I thought I'd try and find out a bit more about Grain Whiskies and what makes them different from Malt Whiskies.
