Famous Grouse (70cl, 40%)

Famous Grouse is a blended Scotch whisky, bringing together Scottish malt and grain whiskies matured in used oak casks. It is bottled at 40% in a 70cl bottle, and it contains added colour and is chill-filtered. The blend aims for a soft, fruity character rather than the stamp of a single distillery or cask. The brand traces its roots to the Brown and Gloag families, wine and grocery merchants in Perth. The nose offers candied fruit, buttery shortbread and citrus peel. The palate is soft and warming, with clear fruit, and the finish stays gentle and balanced.
