Famous Grouse is one of the world's most popular blends, and the best-selling Scotch whisky in Scotland. This whisky is a nicely balanced, malty blend which was first made in 1896. It went on to be known as The Famous Grouse, with the name registered in 1905. Around eighty years later, the company was awarded a Royal Warrant. The blend represents great value for money, and it also works beautiful in whisky-based cocktails. Delicious.
A perennial favourite with critics and connoisseurs alike, Famous Grouse whisky is a superb blend with a great deal of character. Today, more than 2 million cases are sold annually, making it one of the most popular whiskies in the world.
A crisp, light nose offering up notes of toffee apples, hints of dried flowers and biscuity barley.
Balanced, biscuit-laden palate with a core of thick, creamy malt. Just a hint of spice and the vaguest whisper of smoke really bring a great deal of complexity.
A slightly sweet, malty finish.
A very malty, biscuity blend. It's easy to see why this is so popular in Scotland!
What has happened to my favourite blended whisky - bought bottle of standard Famous Grouse today from Tesco and it tastes like Bells. Yuk
I have been enjoying both Famous Grouse and the Black version ( now Smoky Black) for years. But, and it's a big but , the standard version has completely changed in a bad way . Thank goodness Grants and Bells are still good for standard blends .
Was looking for a cheap easy drinking whisky thought I'd try FG, wish I hadn't bothered, thought I'd mistakingly bought thinners! Guess I'll have to drown it in ginger ale.
I've been an FG drinker for years. If it worked, why did you try and fix it? Bring back the old FG IF YOU DARE, (if you even can???) and let your customers vote with their wallets.
FG was my go-to blended scotch since 1989. Have tried a few others, but ended up with FG again. Bought a new shape bottle a few months back and noted darker color and a distinctly different blend. I persevered and bought another bottle with the same result: the blend has definitely changed - for the worse ! Finding Ballantines may be a suitable alternate. Bye bye FG....
