Producer Overview

Grant's is a blended Scotch whisky bottled by company William Grant & Sons in Scotland. On Christmas Day, 1887, it produced its first products. Later, William's son-in-law Charles Gordon became the company's first salesman, and in 1909 spent a year taking Grant's to Australia and the Far East. In 1915, a new law stated that the minimum maturation period for Scotch whisky was to be two years (today it is three). While this led to the ruin of many a Scotch whisky distillery, William Grant had kept a supply of aging whisky in stock and was able to ensure continued production. Today, Grant's continues to be family-owned and run. The current CEO, Glenn Gordon, is the fifth generation of the family to head the business. Grant's is the oldest family-owned blended whisky and is currently sold in over 180 countries. Read more...
