Famous Grouse

Been meaning to try this for quite some time. Poured neat, nose is soft buttery malt, light apple and peach with some gentle smoke and wood. Pretty enticing for a blend. Soft mouthfeel brings palate of mild malt, honey, faint vanilla and fruit with semi-sweet chocolate, oak and a heavy dose of graininess. Its a little thin in flavor with the grain harshness but still has a roundness to it. Finishes with some slight bitter wood/chocolate notes and fading honey malt. There is a wispy smoke running through the background all the way. Overall it lacks depth but it has a soft subtle balance to it that enhances the experience. Not great but far from bad its a decent blend. Serviceable as a mixer(makes a good gunslinger) or straight up. Most likely would not repurchase as there are better blends for less or slightly more and affordable single malts crush it.
