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!
This new Grouse has quite literally had the heart ripped out of it. Will never buy again. A tragedy. Those who signed off on this are going to hell.
Smooth.Def. better than the other cheap ones.
I have been drinking FG for years and always enjoyed its smooth taste. It has been my favourite blended brand by far. However, I opened a new bottle last night that I had receieved over xmas (new bottle style incidentally) and immediately I was not impressed. In a taste test there is no way I would have identified it as FG. The smooth taste is now quite harsh and lingers in your throat, and the colour is definitely darker. I don’t know what has been done but PLEASE sort this out and refer back to the old blend :(
Without sounding like a grouse, Famous Grouse has gone seriously down the pan. No nose, heavy synthetic toffee/caramel taste. I’ve tasted cheap supermarket blends that far outweigh this. God awful :-(
Excellent. Great taste and aroma.
