Famous Grouse Bourbon Cask was the inaugural launch within the Cask Series, designed to showcase different types of oak cask and add greater depth of flavours to the standard blend. A blend of whiskies mostly aged in American Oak and first-fill bourbon casks, in a nice big litre bottle.
Fragrant sweet honey with hints of caramel.
A delicious combo of vanilla ice-cream and toasted coconut with citrus peel.
A sweet soft oak finish.

My now favourite everyday tipple. Very drinkable with caramel & vanilla notes. Will certainly buy again, and again.
A step above the fantastic entry level blended, though in my zone the prices are similar, just a tiny above. Malty and creamy. It's like putting in a balanced way. a caramel layer over the standar blend.

An interesting dram. I'm not a fan of too much sherry cask, so initially this really suited me. I drank, this with a little spring water and really enjoyed it. However, by the time I got towards the bottom of the bottle, I found the taste to be a little two dimensional. Needed a little more depth of flavour. A good honest dram, if it was a choice between this version of Grouse and Ballantines Finest, then the latter would be first choice. I have no problem saying - give it a try, it's there and there abouts.
