Grant’s is one of the most respected blended Scotch whisky names in the world. Founded in 1887 by William Grant, the brand is owned by William Grant & Sons and remains one of the very few major Scotch houses still run by the founder’s family.
Globally, Grant’s is famous for two things: its distinctive triangular bottle and its Triple Wood maturation process — where the whisky is aged in virgin oak, American oak, and refill bourbon casks. This method gives Grant’s its signature fruity sweetness, soft vanilla notes, and smooth finish, making it a popular choice for both neat drinking and highballs.

Key Market Insights for 2026
Goa vs Bangalore Gap
A full bottle costs around ₹1,650 in Goa but can touch ₹3,000 in Bangalore — purely due to Karnataka’s heavy excise on imported Scotch.
Distinction vs Triple Wood
Grant’s Distinction (made specifically for India) is often ₹100–₹300 cheaper than Triple Wood in UP and Delhi, but sometimes costs more in southern states.
Duty-Free Advantage
At Mumbai or Delhi Duty Free, the 1-litre Grant’s Triple Wood regularly appears around ₹1,900–₹2,100, often bundled in “Buy 2” offers — far cheaper than metro retail.
Size Availability
Unlike Indian blends, Grant’s is mainly sold in 750 ml bottles in metros. Smaller packs are easier to find in North India than in Mumbai or Bangalore.
