The Naked Grouse

the best for its price and everyday drink !!!

8th September 2016

Easy drinking, very smooth, little sweet. Very nice. For a few euro's more try The Feathery, also a blended whisky. Also smooth, but more exciting.

7th September 2016

I was lucky enough to get a bottle of this as a gift for American friends. I don't normally drink Grouse but this was exceptional. Very smooth & my friends & I loved it. Would recommend this to anyone. And if you ever gat a chance check out the Snow Grouse another excellent whisky.

I was lucky to receive a bottle at this years British Shooting Show. I took it home and took a wee taste .........beautiful. I have had a "smallish" nip each evening since and loved every drop (sadly tonight saw the end of the bottle!). I will certainly be ordering a few more bottles. Thank you.

At this price range, this is very good.I´ve tasted worse single malts at double the price. Nowadays, one of my favorites.

13th November 2015

Just paid £120. At an auction for my first bottle of personally signed Naked Grouse . Mmmmmmmmm time for another.

This could be fantastic stuff if they used older matured whiskys in the mix. I would love a taste a full 12 year old version. As it stands there is some attractive flavours but it is still rough around the edges and has little depth. In this price bracket the best blends are those with a '12 Years' written clearly on the label.

Absolutely beautiful, loved it. Very hard to come by in Galway Ireland though!!
Lovely bottle.

2nd February 2015

Simply put, best I ever had!! I had this in Dubai and I have been looking for it In Kenya. Unfortunately I can't get it. I would recommend this to anyone out there who know what good whiskey is.

6th January 2015

this whisky has a good nose, for blend standards. the dried fruits are obvious on the nose, and gives a nice and sweet scent. this blend is gentle and sweet on the palate, but the added caramel/honey flavour is hard to miss. the added flavour has changed the colour as well, but it only enhances its taste. best blend I have had so far. this whisky gets an eight (out of ten), because she deserves it! (mind you, this is not a malt rating)

I don't think I would have bought this off the shelf, but as I was given a bottle I thought it rude not to finish it.

Ii very much enjoyed it as a decent, but not earth shattering, blend. Only later I discovetred it was a blend of HP and Macallan - both whisky's I am very fond of.
I would definitely get another bottle for midweek drinking, but not Sunday Best.

24th November 2014

This is a lovely and wonderfully inexepensive premium blend - I think its Highland Park and Macallan - so a fine pedigree. Great fruity nose, hint of dark cherry, thick and smooth palate again with fruit and hints of dark wood, and a subtle medium to long finish. At this price there's no excuse not to try it. And it's another one off Ian Buxton's list of "101 Whiskies to try before you die"

- Thanks for nice moments with a glas of whisky

25th September 2014

I'm not one for blends normally but I was given a sample of this in a whisky shop in Edinburgh. According to the staff this is the original FG blend which has since been err. "cheapened". Whether true or not I don't know but I like the story. I won't touch FG except perhaps as a mixer but this has real taste. Compared to many blends it has a mouthful of malty caramel and finishes with smoke which suits my usual single malt preferences. A lovely drop and a regular in my drinks cabinet.

16th September 2014

There is just too much wood smoke and ash from excessive charring of tired casks. It spoils and disguises the young whiskies that makeup this blend. At nearly twice the price of the regular Famous Grouse I had hoped for an increased dollop of well-aged HP and Macallan. No such luck. For the same price you are better off with one of the genuinely aged premiom 12 year old blends.

1st September 2014

The decline in malt content of famous grouse can perhaps be explained by this Money making addition, and it's way better than the regular, try it! Macallan and Highland Park can't be bad.

28th April 2014

best Grouse ever!!!

14th March 2014

Naked Grouse is one of the best blended whisky I have tasted

Refreshing Smooth buttery Vanilla creamy Apricots, This is a really well blended whisky!

22nd August 2013

I am a fan of Grouse but find this to be too far from the familiar taste. Obviously a high malt content but far too dull for my palate. I find it almost whisky without, are we sure it is not one of those horrible concoctions for the American Market, blended as a mixer. In conclusion I am disappointed and hope that this bland brew does not affect the reputation of the Famous one. Good packaging.

16th June 2013

I first tasted this whisky during a recent visit to The Grouse Experience at Crieff. I was sufficiently impressed to buy a bottle on the way out. I would guess that this has the highest malt whisky content of any blended brand. Certainly is is one of the finest whiskies I have ever tasted. Like Joe from Glasgow I also am a regular Grouse drinker but I also drink a variety of malts and, to be honest, on a blind tasting I might well have taken Naked Grouse for a fine malt!

If you are a keen whisky drinker you certainly can't go through the rest of your life without tasting Naked Grouse.

9th April 2013

A lovely whisky, very easy on the nose - rich and smooth. Nice in the mouth and even better in taste! Smooth taken neat. What a welcome addition to the whisky family. I am sure once word gets around, it will prove successful. This comment comes from a regular Grouse drinker.

31st March 2013

With out a doubt one of the finest blends i have ever drunk

7th January 2013

Suburb Blend!!! SHOCKING.... I couldn't believe it was Famous Grouse!!!!!
