Grants

[Lachlan09]

Has Grants chnaged its labelling ? I bought a few bottles of standard blendeds to add to my home bar and I noticed the Grants in its triangular bottle looks sort of different somehow.

Didn't it used to say "Standfast" on the bottle ? This one didn't.

As far as I can tell the label went from being white to green. I can't remember whether it said Stand Fast or not on it.

I had heard of Grant's but never tried it before. Saw a couple of the triangular bottles this evening. What's your thoughts /opinions of it?

Wow...a blast fro the past!

"While you're up, get me a Grant's."

Reminds me of the "Mad Men" period. Haven't had any Grant's in a coon's age*...Pinch either, although I did see a bottle of Pinch the other day on a store shelf and was rather surprised that they still made it.

A sampling is in order but most places have the shelves filled with single malts and have no room for blendeds.

*By which I mean raccoon. Trying to head off the usual righteous indignation of any party who, as I think of it, might think otherwise. My personal faavorite reference to this figure of speech was in Gilbert Shelton's "Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers" where Fat Freddy runs into someone and says, "...haven't seen you in a coon's age..." and then does an aside to the reader, "I'm referring to my pet raccoon, Fat Eddy, who was strangled to death when he got caught in the fanbelt of my father's '49 Nash when he was two years old."

I haven't tried it yet.

I wouldn’t be surprised if my dad (who’s not much of an imbiber – unlike his son who’s got gills ! ) still has a bottle in the cupboard from way back when, probably New Year 1967 or such-like ! Mind you, any imbibing he did was more likely Teacher’s, Stewart’s Cream of the Barley, MacCallum’s or Whyte & Mackay.

At the moment, the standard blendeds on my shelves are Grants, J&B, Haig’s Dimple 15, Ballantine’s, Famous Grouse, Whyte & Mackay. I’m building on it !

Next week, I'll get bottles of more of the usual suspects – Cutty Sark, Chivas Regal, Bells, Dewars, Black & White and Johnny Walker Black Label.
