The Famous Grouse Blended Scotch Whiskey is a Scotch from the Famous Grouse Scotch brand hailing from Scotland.

What is The Famous Grouse Blended Scotch Whiskey?

The Famous Grouse has been Scotland's best-selling whisky for over 40 years, blending Highland Park and The Macallan single malts with grain whiskies to create its signature smooth taste. Interestingly, the brand's iconic grouse mascot was inspired by Scotland's national game bird, the red grouse, which is known for its distinctive red eyebrows - a feature cleverly incorporated into the whisky's logo design.

Why do we love The Famous Grouse Blended Scotch Whiskey?

The Famous Grouse stands out among blended Scotch whiskies for its exceptional consistency, achieved through the unique "marrying" process where the blended whisky rests in oak casks for up to six months before bottling. This extra step, rarely employed by other blended Scotch producers, allows the individual flavors to meld harmoniously, resulting in a smoother, more balanced dram that has helped make The Famous Grouse Scotland's best-selling whisky for over 40 years.

How do you drink The Famous Grouse Blended Scotch Whiskey?

The Famous Grouse Blended Scotch Whisky shines when sipped neat or with a splash of water to open up its flavors, but it's equally at home in classic whisky-forward cocktails. This versatile dram is a year-round pleasure, pairing beautifully with hearty dishes like roasted meats and rich cheeses, while also offering a warming embrace on chilly evenings or a refreshing lift when served over ice on warmer days.

Nose: Light grain and citrus notes mingle with honey and a hint of oak. There's a subtle nuttiness reminiscent of almonds, alongside a touch of vanilla and dried fruits.

Palate: Smooth and balanced with a creamy mouthfeel. Flavors of malted barley, toffee, and baked apples come through. A mild spiciness reminiscent of cinnamon and nutmeg adds depth, while a whisper of smoke lingers in the background.

Finish: Medium length with warming notes of toasted oak and lingering sweetness. Dried fruit flavors persist, accompanied by a gentle maltiness and a subtle peppery afterglow.

The Famous Grouse Blended Scotch Whisky is crafted by blending a selection of fine single malt and grain whiskies, each aged for a minimum of three years in oak casks. What sets it apart is the unique "marrying" process, where the blended whisky is returned to oak casks for several months, allowing the flavors to meld and develop a smooth, harmonious character before bottling.

  • The Famous Grouse holds a unique Royal Warrant from the late Queen Elizabeth II, making it the only blended Scotch whisky to be served at Buckingham Palace for over three decades.
  • In a quirky tradition, the distillery employs a full-time ornithologist to monitor and protect the red grouse population on its Glenturret estate, ensuring the brand's namesake bird thrives in its natural habitat.
  • The Famous Grouse's iconic label features a hand-drawn red grouse that has remained virtually unchanged since 1896. Each year, the distillery commissions an artist to paint a new grouse portrait, but they always choose to keep the original design.

      An excellent 4+ light bodied Scotch

      My wife and I both enjoying sipping this Scotch as a flavorful change from more traditional Scotches with a stronger smoked peat nose and flavor. Although different in taste, FG reminded me of Cutty Sark in terms of body.

      delicious!

      After going through the Jameson I had lying around, this was a welcome surprise. Less harsh on the nose, so much more flavor, not too peat-y, and smooooooth
