Review of Grant's Elementary Copper 29 Year Old Scotch blended whisky.
 Up until now the outstanding Grant's 25 year old sat at the pinnacle of the Grant's Scotch blended whisky range but that has now been replaced by the new travel retail exclusive Grant's Elementary Copper 29 year old.
Part of the new Grant's Elementary range which comprises of three whiskies which William Grant & Sons has created to highlight the scientific elements involved in the traditional whisky making process and to demonstrate the influence each scientific element has on the final flavour of the whisky.
This premium expression celebrates the very essential role copper plays during whisky making. As most Single malt whiskies drinkers will know, single malt whisky is distilled in copper pot stills before maturation, but did you know that the other component part of a Scotch blended whisky, grain whisky, is produced in a column still where it reacts with sacrificial copper plates inside the column still to smooth out any sulphuric elements in the spirit, extract the harsh flavours and produce a delicately balanced flavour.
The Grant's Elementary Copper 29 year old was matured for at least 29 years in a combination of American and European oak casks including Girvan Grain and peated whiskies. These casks were hand selected by Master Blender, Brian Kinsman to create this new blend which will be bottled in a 70cl bottle at 40% ABV.
It is currently available for a sneak preview at Paris Charles de Gaulle, Paris Orly and Nice airports and is due to be released for purchase later this year. Meanwhile you will find the outstanding Grant's 25 year old available for worldwide delivery from specialist whisky shops such as
