Single Grain Scotch Whisky

Grain whisky was the industrial backbone of the blended Scotch industry, produced in vast quantities at continuous column stills. Bottled single grain expressions are a relatively recent premium market development.

Flavor Profile

Light, sweet, often dessert-like. Vanilla-forward from barrel aging without the heavy grain character of malt. Compass Box Hedonism (pure grain whisky) is described as 'dessert-like.'
