If your holiday gatherings involve top-shelf guests, then why not up the ante with the spirit you're making welcome drinks with?

Grant’s Triple Wood 12 is a great whisky to have in your liquor cabinet at home  as it can be sipped straight up, with ice or in an easy cocktail. It gets its creamy and fruity notes thanks to being aged in three barrels—Bourbon barrel, American oak, and Sherry cask.

Try using it in this Smoky Maple Sour recipe. It's the perfect sipper for a get together with your crew this holiday season!
