Famous Grouse

The Famous Grouse is what I refer to as my "cooking" whisky and that's not meant in a derogatory sense. I always have at least one bottle in the house as well as a couple of dozen single malts. The single malts are great to savour and enjoy but Grouse is the whisky I drink if I'm intending having a few. I drink mine in a large glass with lots of ice and it slips down smooth and warming. If a bar has Grouse I won't touch any other whisky!

i like & love world famouse grouse,very smooth whisky

I am liquor consultant tried many Malts and expensive stuff But for every day Grouse leads the way Best selling whisky in scotland and southall

This a nice blend and one can definately taste there are some high quality malts like Highland Park involved in this. If you're looking for a blend that is liquorice and even a bit gritty (in a good way), this is one to consider. If you like your dram to be a bit more fruity and refined, opt for Ballantine's or Grant's instead.

I have a bottle of Grouse that used to belong to my grandmother and so far I couldn't get myself to drink. It's about 5 or 6 years old and there's only 5cl left in it. I don't know how much the air in the bottle have effected the taste, but it sure wasn't bad when I finally poured a dram the other day! It was like eating a really chewy toffee in a smoky bar! :)

I have a bottle of this at home, it's a slightly different label and is bottled at 43%... anyone got any ideas why this one's stronger?

GOOD WHISKEY,BUT SMOOTHNESS MATTERS

got a bottle of this for my 18th from a family friend who is a member of the scottish malt whisky drinkers association (he knows his stuff!) and ahve to say that if i'm buying an everyday bottle of whisky even to this day its Grouse. (18yrs on..). whisky is all about personal taste, for me teachers, yuk! bells, not my fave.. chivas? duty free treat..

the best at this price

Famous Grouse is my favourite of the blended whiskies.Teachers is not far behind though.

Agree with Dasir, Teachers blows this away, White Horse and BNJ are also a terrific blends

definately not the best as some said. It is an OKish blend that goes down rather smoothly but in this price range i would go for teacher's.

A Scottish landlord of a little pub in Toddington, Bedfordshire once told me that this is the everyday whisky that most Scots would choose if given the choice. I cannot stand Bells and am a Grouse lover. Nothing special as far as critics are concerned, just good flavour and reasonably mellow.

I haven't tried that many whiskeys but of the few I have tried I would say Famous Grouse is the best on the whole, it has an excellent balance, is very smooth

Excellent and comparatively smooth

A very cheap but pleasing whisky. Not to be compared to the equally cheap, yet cheap-tasting Bell's.

A great blended whiskey. The bottle is always too small

Solid whisky--easy drinking. It will not win awards for complexity, but is one of the pleasures of whisky.
