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.
Just had my first ever taste and what a cracking taste it is too.
For the price a well balanced Dram
The nose is very weak, the palate is okey, not bad for budget whisky. Still take JWR over this anyday.
A terrific smooth drink that defies it's inexpensive cost ....The best value for a smooth, lightly smoked, peaty whisky imo
A nice twist on the original
