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!
Used to be one of my favourites. Recent change has made it virtually undrinkable - coarse, harsh and unpleasant in every way. It's totally lost that smooth honey sweetness, and is now almost acidic, with an astringent nose to it. Not buying it again.
Not how it used to be and tasted sharp and had none of the sherry influence it used to have. Mixer only. Bring back the old grouse

I used to love Famous Grouse, which was the perfect whisky with soda, which was my favourite drink. However, in the last couple of years, they have messed with the blend. Then they produced Mellow Gold, which I loved, but that seems to have disappeared. I tried Bourbon Cask last week, which was awful. Thin, tasteless and I was not even sure it was whisky. Please go back to the classic Famous Grouse.
I agree with the reviewer below who wrote, "There is nothing in this that resembles scotch." The least flavorful scotch I've ever had. Nothing offensive, but not much flavor.
