Named after the Red grouse, Scotland's national bird & blended from some the highest quality malt & grain whiskies for an exceptionally smooth taste. The aroma is light yet crisp, of freshly cut flowers barley & a toffee sweetness. On the palate it is light & balanced with bursting flavours of spice, barley, caramel & a touch of smoke. The finish is velvety caramel with sweetness. It was in 1896 that Mathew Gloag created his first type of Whisky. He named it Grouse rather than after him because it was the most famous bird in Scotl&. It wasn't until 1905 that they added the word Famous bird in the brand name. 1970 highland distillers buy the Famous Grouse br&, they are known to be one of the leaders in the scotch whisky market. 1980 The Famous Grouse was named Scotlands favourite whisky & awarded a royal warrant. In 2002 they win a Bafta for the interactive distillery experience. In 2006 they implemented a successful & famous marketing campaign, where the customer could personalise their own bottle for example, The Famous Dad. The secret to the success of the blend is what whiskies they choose to use, marrying the finest malt whiskies such as The Macallan & Highland Park, with exceptional grain whiskies for a long period in fully seasoned oak Casks. The perfect combination of flavours & aromas brought together in every sip.
