A popular blended whisky with Scotch from Glenrothes, The Macallan and Highland Park, a slightly spicy, crisp blend. This litre bottle of Famous Grouse features the world's most famous grouse, named Gilbert.

I find this whisky benefits from Oxidation more than any I know. It is much improved, if you buy a bottle, and empty half into an empty bottle. Leave for 2 or 3 weeks. A good blended whisky turns into a top notch dram. Try it. It works for me.
A solid blend that goes down smooth whether you're a smoke hound solidly planted in Islay (guilty) or would rather be sipping a non-offensive Speyside or Highlander. For the price, it's hard to beat and it's a solid addition to any shelf of whisky, particularly if you're just dipping your toes into Scottish offerings.
Always an easy choice for either a mix or straight. My favourite blend.
I am actually drinking this as I write; on it’s own, over ice. It is a warm evening. The sun is low in the sky. I am in England. I paid less than £20 for a litre bottle. I am 66 years old If there is better value to be had, anywhere, I have not experienced it.
This is/isn't one of the least iniquitous whiskys that I have not ever not tried.
