The Famous Grouse is a historic brand of blended whisky, created by Matthew Gloag in 1896. One of the UK's bestselling brands, the blend's spiritual home is Glenturret distillery. In recent years, the range has been extended to include Black Grouse (peated), Naked Grouse (sherry-cask-matured), Snow Grouse (grain), and Famous Spiced (flavored with cinnamon, orange, and star anise).
Tasting Notes Nose: A crisp, light nose offering up notes of toffee apples, hints of dried flowers, and biscuity barley.
Palate: Balanced, biscuit-laden palate with a core of thick, creamy malt. Just a hint of spice and the vaguest whisper of smoke really bring a great deal of complexity.
