Good

Read the Reviews I found that this was a nice palatable Whisky worth the price would recommend to anyone.

Frank Cook Nov 5, 2017

Nasty, truly awful

Totally agree with the previous commentator. This is a truly nasty whiskey. The burnt smokiness is totally synthetic, totally nasty and without any merits at all. You are not getting an "Islay" on the cheap here, it is the worst whisky I have tasted in a long time. It was a gift and I feel the purchaser was duped by a marketing exercise created in lab rather than a distiller.

Master of Malt Customer Oct 15, 2017

Truly awful!!!

For me this is by far the worst whisky I've tasted in some years. Very unpleasant on the nose - like burnt clutch/burning rubber. Taste not much better. No smoke or peat to speak of. Very artificial. Can't think of anything good to say. Yes it's cheap but Aldi single malt Islay whisky is cheaper and far superior if you're after peat and smoke on a budget.

Master of Malt Customer Aug 23, 2017

No smoke, but good

Very good for such a cheap whisky. Nothing smokey about it though so if you expect that you will be disappointed. It's kind of sweet, in some way reminds me of highland park 12. But don't expect it to be as good. It's just a nice weekday and mixing whisky.

Eccellente

Trovo che il the famous grouse smoky black, è un ottimo whisky blended torbato, (questo serve per avvicinarsi ad un più complesso whisky di malto torbato). Sapore giusto ben dosato anche di fumosita', che ultima al palato arriva con molta delicatezza, il caramello lascia spazio a sufficenza per gustare questo ottimo blended....prezzo ottimo.
