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!
Mildly offensive
Seriously - I used to drink this about a year or two ago and it was solid blend. I purchased a bottle recently and stench of grain whiskey and rubbing alcohol was so intense it was undrinkable. Something seriously has gone awry here! Too bad, because this was a blend I could depend on for a mid-week drink. Now it's something reserved for mixed drinks only.
I bought a giant £70 bottle from Morrison’s. Tastes like high commissioner it was rotten gave it away to someone I didn’t like you conned me???
I've tried all sorts of scotch whisky from 30 year Speyside single malts to bottom shelf supermarket blends. This is by far the worst whisky iv ever tasted in fact I wouldn't even call it a whisky. There is absolutely ZERO cask influence going on. I assume none of the components of this blend have been matured for no more than a day in overused casks that should have been discarded about 50 fills ago. Disgusting!
Overpowering taste of icing sugar from the obviously dominant cheap grain in the blend. Quite unpleasant. Nothing like it was a couple of years ago. Avoid this whisky.
