    probley the best blended whisky on the market

    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

    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

    Nice but not smokey

    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.

    Gorgeous

    A beautiful blend. Smoke and peat are restrained but the malt and grain marriage is astonishing. Ballantines now seems pedestrian.
