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!
I absolutely LOVE Famous Grouse!!! Randy from Michigan
I've been looking for a blend that could replace Johnnie Walker Red as my "daily" blend for when I don't feel like having a single malt. I really was hoping to like Famous Grouse, but I am somewhat disappointed. I can discern very little smokiness, which I am particular to, and the nose as well as the palate have a noticeable solvent-ish quality, which, in the least offensive way possible, reminds me of motor oil. I'm not bashing FG but it really isn't my cup of tea. Probably won't buy again. Graham from TX, U.S.
I've never seen such a wide range of reviews on a product. That being said, I like The Famous Grouse and I usuallly don't like Scotch. I'll buy again.
A wonderful blended whisky, I actually like this better than some of the single malts I own. Love the toffee on the nose and the biscuit on the palate.
I find this blend too much alcoholic taste. Maybe a bad cask.. or not stirred before on bottle???!! I tryed in juice. Add water. Let it rest for 5 minuts. ;-( nothing helps.. no other flavours apears.. so now I do not dare to buy the Glenturret 10y even though it sounds so delicious and great for my taste... ;-(
