So i finally went over to check it out. There are a ton of the cloud pieces scattered throughout the lobby escalators and banquet areas. They also have a huge one outside where the car drop off is. Also they used those architectural pieces everywhere in the lobby and one of the escalators (see video). Finally there were tons of I used mounting points just left exposed. Seems like they just put as many as they could and just tried to figure it out last minute. And my god so many mounting cables.

Taken at the 2014 Armory Show. The panels on this art piece could be moved to make your own Mondrian-like art. I wonder if Piet Mondrian is annoyed that most people now equate his ideas with the L'Oreal brand.
Grant’s site proclaims “If you’ve got this far in life without owing anybody anything, how far have you really got?” A good question, and I suppose one in reference to the fact that the 130 year young whisky brand is still family owned and run. Onto their 6th generation and with a credible claim to being ‘SCOTLAND’S OLDEST CONTINUOUSLY FAMILY-RUN, BLENDED WHISKY MAKERS’ (they sure love using capitals on their website…), Grants is actually one of the younger of the distilleries. Though, as the world’s third largest scotch whisky brand, that hasn’t stopped them.
If you ever been to an off-license in the UK you’ll have noticed Grant’s distinctive triangular bottle (which does not apply for some of their rarer and lesser known expressions). What you probably saw was the Grant’s Family Reserve - with its red label and accessible price tag, much beloved of people drinking purely for the sake of it, but a pretty enjoyable dram all the same. This is what you’re looking at here, and it seemed about time that Tasting Britain did something with it, considering how popular it is round here!
However, the Family Reserve is but the gateway to what is an varied and vibrant portfolio of firewater. Grants have some lesser known and more premium offerings such as the ‘elementary’ (coming in such chemistry oriented offerings as oxygen, carbon and copper - each representing the process used in production, I think). And yes, they have a 25 year.
The one you’re looking at now is the Grants Signature, another entry level whisky (priced slightly higher than the Family reserve). Initially available only in Tesco, and presumably priced to compete with the likes of Johnny Walker Red, Grant’s has never positioned itself as an ‘elitist’ whisky brand and this might be an interesting step up from people who have enjoyed the Family Reserve and want to try something else without pissing off their bank account…
