Famous Grouse

Taste it in Alaska June 28 June 28, 2022 bar

An uninviting smell that brings a below average taste.

😕 sometimes you get what you paid for... blah

Subtle toffee, vanilla, baked pear, orange zest, and light smoke on the nose. Apple chips, honey, more vanilla, and more orange zest on the palate. Light without being thin. Has a bit of heat on the short-medium finish – but overall a solid whisky, particularly for the price point. 3.00/5.00 – Good (neat)

A lot on the nose more than palate. Sweet honey & caramel. This was way better than I thought I would be. We got a taste a very old release. Maybe that’s why it was as good as it was.

Famous Grouse is a solid blended scotch. It's quite useful in cocktails but it isnt exactly complex or unique. I would classify it as a decent everyday dram. The nose is a touch bland with some light malt and smoke. The palate leads with some sweetness, with sherry, toffee, honey and grain. The finish is not very long with a touch of spice and no burn. If you plan to use this in cocktails or as a simple everyday dram then you cant go wrong with Famous Grouse, just dont expect to be wowed.

Missing everything.
