Grain Whisky

Grain whisky is a sumptuous dram renowned for being a lighter and more delicate version of malt whisky. More grain whisky is produced than malt, but far fewer distillers make this sublime spirit. Formulated from grains other than malted barley - often corn, wheat, or rye - it offers a distinct light-bodied quality and a wonderfly smooth profile.
