A new name and packaging for the excellent 'Black Grouse' blend sees it become Famous Grouse Smoky Black. Although not mentioned by name anymore, the bottle still features a Tetrao tetrix, otherwise known as a blackcock.
Medium, quite smoky. Solid peat note, rummy sweetness, touch of dry wood.
Medium, balanced. Peat smoke, caramel, spice.
Long, slightly peaty.

Bit of a strange one this. I think I like it. You get the smokey taste straight away but then nothing. Not much of a finish. Its easy to drink, cheap, not one for special occasions. For the price you cant complain.
Never again, tastes like I am eating a really bad hot dog
A touch lighter that I would have expected. Slight Smoky flavour. A decent whisky for the price, especially when on offer. Although, I tried this a free sample from BzzAgent.
Great everyday Whisky, smooth, palatable, with just enough smokiness. Good value at half the price of an Islay single malt
Like drinking petrol. Vile.
