The oldest Blended Scotch Whisky in family hands! Wiliam Grant & Son is the oldest family business in the whisky industry. It was founded in 1887. Still today the descendants of William Grant are running the company. It is the third largest producer of whisky in the world and owns six different distilleries producing single malt, triple, malt and blended whisky and other spirits. Brian Kinsman, master blender of William Grants & Sons, is the man behind the Elementary series. This bottling is dedicated to the eighth element; oxygen/oxygen. During the vacuum distillation process, which is used here, no oxygen is present. Grant's Elementary 8 Years Old OXYGEN Blended Grain Scotch Whisky is distilled at a lower temperature to create a sweeter and fresher aroma. This blend is aged for eight years; chemistry meets whisky in every way.
