The "Naked" bottle has no standard label, but an embossed Grouse instead. Note: As of late 2017, this has been discontinued and replaced with a blended malt version.

Tasting Notes

"The color has more of an amber appearance than the standard Famous Grouse blend which would be explained by the aging in first-fill sherry casks. The dried fruits that appear on the nose are berry and citrus focused, especially orange aromas. The body is a little slick and peppery hot on the finish with dark honey and a moderate amount of malt on the palate. The finish is pleasant, though the blend is not as integrated and seamless as it could be. With the price hovering in the low $30 range however, it is a solid value."
