Reinforcing its position as one of the whisky industry's most revered blended Scotch whiskies, Grant's has received nine medals at The Global Scotch Whisky Masters 2015, including four Gold and five Silver medals.
The results of the annual Scotch Whisky Masters are highly anticipated and the competition is one of the most respected and high-profile blind tasting competitions in the industry. Now in its eighth year, this year's competition received a record-breaking number of entries reflecting the best of the industry's innovations and making up 28 categories of The Global Scotch Whisky Masters. The results, published in the June edition of The Spirits Business, mark a true achievement for Grant's and continue to affirm its blended malt credentials.
With nine awards across the 11 Blended Malt categories, Grant's adds a new chapter to its award-winning story. With four highly coveted Gold medals for the newly released Grant's Signature, the newly released Grant's Select Reserve, Grant's 18 Year Old and Grant's 25 Year Old, the awards are recognition of five generations of passion, hard work and independent thinking from dedicated experts and craftsman.
Grant's Master Blender Brian Kinsman commented, "These awards are one of the most respected blind tasting spirits competitions and to have received a total of nine awards is testament to the lengths we go to at Grant's to produce the finest quality whisky."

About Grant's
They say no man grows great alone. And at Grant's we know this better than anyone. It all began back in 1886 when William Grant, his seven sons and two daughters began building their own distillery. Five generations later, the same family is still at the heart of everything we do. Today, we sell over 54 million bottles each year in over 180 countries, which make us one of the world's most enjoyed whiskies. But we didn't get here on our own. It's taken years of passion, hard work and independent thinking. The expert skills of the dedicated craftsmen making our award-winning whisky now are staying true to a 100-year-old recipe. And we are still working with people around the world to innovate and grow the Grant's range, while never forgetting our heritage roots. To everyone who helped us along the way - we salute you.
