Girvan unveils cask strength grain whisky
William Grant & Sons is readying to release a cask strength expression of its Girvan Patent Still Single Grain Scotch whisky.
The Girvan Patent Still Single Grain Scotch whisky is bottled at 51.7% abv
The Girvan Patent Still Proof Strength has an abv of 51.7%, relating to when gunpowder would be soaked in spirit and if successfully ignited – which happened at 57.1% alcohol strength – the ‘proof’ of the spirit’s quality was confirmed.
Launching first in the UK in time for Christmas, the limited edition is described as having a “surprisingly mellow” taste profile, with vibrant, zesty notes, punchy palate, light aftertaste and sweet vanilla creaminess.
“We’re thrilled to release a proof strength expression for whisky enthusiasts looking for something different – a vibrant, punchy single grain whisky with a surprisingly light aftertaste,” commented Kevin Abrook, global whisky specialist at William Grant & Sons. “The release demonstrates our commitment to quality and just how versatile single grain whiskies can be.”
The Girvan Patent Still Proof Strength is the fourth expression and follows the release of The Girvan Patent Still 25 Year Old, 30 Year Old and No. 4 Apps Single Grain whisky.
Following its launch in the UK, Proof Strength will be rolled out to markets in Europe, the US and Asia in 2015 at an RRP of £75.
