GRANTS SCOTCH WHISKY TRIPLE FLASK HUNTING SET

In 1886, William Grant started working in the distillery business as a bookkeeper. In 1898, Pattison's, the largest Scotch whisky blender at the time, went bankrupt and William Grant stepped in and launched Grant's whisky. William built the Glenfiddich distillery in Dufftown, Scotland, with the help of his seven sons and two daughters. On Christmas Day, 1887, it produces its first product. Later, William's son-in-law Charles Gordon became the company's first salesman and in 1909 spent a year taking Grant's to Australia and the Far East. In 1915, a new law stated that the minimum maturation period for Scotch whisky was to be two years (today it is three). While this led to the ruin of many a Scotch whisky distillery, William Grant had kept a supply of aging whisky in stock and was able to ensure continued production.
