Portrait: What makes The Famous Grouse special

The Famous Grouse is a traditional Blended Scotch Whisky that dates back to 1896. At that time, Matthew Gloag assembled a team of experienced whisky connoisseurs in the Scottish city of Perth with the goal of creating a particularly balanced and high-quality blend of malt and grain whiskies. The result is a whisky that is still known today for its consistent quality and smooth character. It was originally named "The Grouse," in reference to the popular hunting tradition in the Scottish Highlands. It was considered the ideal reward after a long day outdoors. Due to its growing popularity, the name was later changed to "The Famous Grouse" - a title that lived up to its reputation.

Today, The Famous Grouse is one of the best-selling whiskies in Scotland and is available in over 100 countries worldwide. The brand is known for its connection to nature and Scottish tradition - symbolized by the iconic grouse on the label. The whisky is produced with single malts such as The Macallan and Highland Park, among others, which underlines its depth and quality.

Tasting Notes: This is how The Famous Grouse tastes like

  • Nose: light and elegant with aromas of toffee, pastries, and apples - with light herbs in the background
  • Palate: the pastries again, with creamy notes of malt and smoke, slightly spicy
  • Finish: pleasant finish with malty and sweet notes

Das ist halt ein einfacher Whisky für mal zwischendurch. Also nach einem gehaltvollen Essen. Aber kein Whisky zum wie soll ich sagen, kein Whisky zum "Stauen" oder "Entzückt" sein.
