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.

Smells like rubber band, tastes like you'll never have a whisky again.
Not terrible. The Black Grouse was better, although I was only able to sample one bottle of The Black G.; the Smoky Black is OK when Laphroaig or Ardbeg or Lagavulin is out of the budget, if a peated malt is what you need. Not as bad as some critics call it here.
Wouldn't recommend drinking it on its own, however, it's an inexpensive way to add a bit of "smoke" to a cocktail.
Brill, Peaty, Malty, Smooth just as it says on the bottle. Value for money , Very Moorish .
Is this even whiskey? will not finish bottle
