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!
After reading so many glowing reviews I picked up a bottle. Nose: old desk, leather. Taste: pretty much the same. Must be a bad batch? Used rest of bottle for tall mixers
if you wanna spend $100 sure you can find better but I get this stuff for $22 a bottle when it is on sale & have turned so many friends on to it w never a complaint.
I enjoy blended whisky aswell as single malts but this has to be one of the worst blended whiskies I've had. Burnt treacle and no character what so ever! Not for me!
Grouse has Highland Park as a component so it has a pedigree, which can be tasted by the connosier but will go unnoticed by the masses who only down this stuff to get drunk. Has the quality declined in recent years? Of course, they can hardly keep up with demand, and more grain has been added so now less than 20% of it is single malt. Still worth having one for when you want to go unpretentious. Steer clear of Bell, Whyte and Makays and Black Bottle at all costs!
A good solid blended whisky which has been hyped out of all proportion. At just over 12 euro a litre it's still a good buy but for me does not have the performance of Grants family reserve.
