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!
One of the better no age statement blends available. Tasting notes, ginger biscuits, toffe, real ale. Has a suppressing long malty finish. I like this blend.
FG has descended to the realm of Cheapo blends. Too bad. It was great. If it wasn't turning enough profit, couldn't they just raise the price instead of cutting quality? Again, too bad.
Excellent value .... very mellow with hints of apple and caramel . Great for the beginner who wants to drink it neat. I was one of those single malt snobs but truly enjoyed this.
Have enjoyed plenty of FG in the past. This week I bought a bottle from local Tesco...the taste is disgusting. Nearly took it back to Tesco until I read the reviews here...seems the taste change was deliberate. The only way I can drink it is with plenty of ginger wine. I won't be buying FG again.
Something happened to this blend in the last few months. Very different from before and not in a good way. Does anyone know what happened?
