Medium, quite smoky. Solid peat note, rummy sweetness, touch of dry wood.
Medium, balanced. Peat smoke, caramel, spice.

We got a shall bottle for Christmas and we have just tryed it and we found it very smooth and we will be buying it again
Im a bit of a self confessed whisky snob. Single malt or nothing. A friend bought me smoky black, i almost gave it back. But thought it would do for hot toddy s. However i tried some to sip and was impressed, better i thought than some if the cheaper single malts. Well done famous grouse, probley the best blended whisky on the market.
Very pleasant tasting scotch . I do enjoy a scotch over ice and this is good especially when bought on supermarket deal . Will definitely buy again
Famous grouse smokey black is a nicer tasting blend from one of the budget makers but..... smokey taste, no there's not! However, I would buy it again as it is very pleasant.
A beautiful blend. Smoke and peat are restrained but the malt and grain marriage is astonishing. Ballantines now seems pedestrian.
