{"title":"Single Grain","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSingle grain whisky is one of the whisky world's best-kept secrets. Made at a single distillery from grains other than malted barley — such as wheat or corn — and distilled in a continuous column still, it tends to produce a lighter, smoother and often sweeter style that drinks beautifully on its own. While it rarely gets the headlines of single malt, aged single grain whisky can be extraordinarily complex and rewarding, often at a fraction of the price. Notable expressions from Scotch producers have attracted serious collector attention, while Japanese grain whiskies are a more delicate, polished character. Whisky Estate stocks a selection of premium single grain bottles for those willing to explore beyond the usual.
