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.

I loved this when I was The Black Grouse. But, they have actually changed the recipe now and it tastes awful. I occasionally find a few bottles of Black Grouse in Co-Op stores and grab them!
Fair enough taste as value. Worth of taste and price.
Very poor, I would never dream of adding any thing to any whisky. However it's now full of Irn Bru, it's the only way it's remotely drinkable, it's like a fake watery cap'n morgan, the diet version, with chemical sweetness. Do yourself a favour and buy any other whisky
Has the typical short comings of a blend. A bit too sweet, but complex enough to merit a second look. The Famous Grouse Smoky black is far superior to standard blend. However the sweetness will definitely dissatisfy those who regularly enjoy heavily peated single malts such as Laphroaig or Ardbeg. Worth a look if you are on a budget, not nearly as bad as some other reviews state.
Like Ardbeg's ghost drowning in watered-down rum. 1.5 stars because it was only £16 in Sainsbury's.
