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!
It used to be the best value standard blended whisky. Now it is just crap on a redesigned bottle.
One of my favourite's, tastes more expensive.
Used to drink this years ago and quite enjoyed it. Haven't tried it in a while but saw it on offer and bought a bottle. Wish I hadn't. Not good.
ive heard good things about famous grouse and can see why, i do taste the biscuity flavor and the other well rounded classic scotch flavors, that are well liked by the scots, which is why i can see this being the #1 selling scotch blend, without having to be a single malt...
We have favoured Famous Grouse for many years but noticed a few months ago that the blend had clearly changed for the worse. It is difficult to define the change but the nearest is “sweeter”. Such is the change that we have switched brands.
