The Girvan No. 4 Apps Single Grain. Image courtesy William Grant & Sons. This single grain from the William Grant & Sons Girvan Distillery uses a unique set of patented vacuum stills, and the result is a clean and light nose with notes of caramel apples, allspice, sweet cream, dried flowers, vanilla, and oak. The taste is vibrant and fruity with caramel red apples, allspice, a hint of clove, honey, vanilla, and hints of butterscotch and licorice come out near the finish, which is dry and fruity along with the butterscotch and licorice notes.
