Reviewed November 8, 2020 (edited January 30, 2021)Blended Scotch Whisky 40% ABV Whisky NAS Whisky base: Glenturret Peated Tem filtragem gelada Tem corante caramelo Olfato: baunilha, caramelo, levemente defumado, madeira tostada, barril recauchutado, dulçor, whisky de grãos. Muito discretamente, em uma sub camada, um pouquinho medicinal e borracha queimada. Pouca percepção de álcool. Paladar: suave, dulçor, baunilha, caramelo, picante, frutado simples, suave amargor, defumado e bem simples. Pouco álcool no paladar. Finalização: curta. Dulçor e tostado do barril é o que fica mais perceptível. Impressões gerais: whisky jovem, simples, bem fácil de beber mas com baixo custo x benefício. Não se trata de um whisky caro, mas a entrega não acompanha o preço. O single malt da Glenturret é sobrepujado pelo whisky de grãos, o que na minha opinião derruba a qualidade deste whisky.20.0 USD per Bottle -

Reviewed November 1, 2020 (edited March 6, 2022)A very well balanced mix of smokey and fruity flavors. Considering price range, it’s definitely a favorite. -

Reviewed October 19, 2020 (edited February 11, 2021)Very loose hints of smoke and weak peat. If you are after islay features, shy away from this. Dont get me wrong. Black Grouse can be a decent choice for casual evening drinks, probably with ice, some drops of water or mixers.🤞🏼 -

Reviewed October 11, 2020 (edited June 2, 2021)The nose is butterscotch and briny salt. The peat manifests itself more as tobacco ash: it's smoky but not harsh. Buttery coffee creamer. A sulphuric/broccoli note briefly rears its head, before reverting to its butterscotchy origins. The first sip is milk creamer, a little buttery, but morphs into vanilla creme. There is a spicy cinnamon in the middle of the palate. There is a more earthy peat character with a peppery sting. A distinct plum/prune/stone fruit savoryness poker its head in. The finish is a metallic/astringent first wave. The creamer flavor sticks throughout, with a little zing of citrus spice. The raisin/plum (it must come from the barrels) adds a satisfying finish.23.99 USD per BottleLuke's Super Liquor Stores -

Reviewed October 6, 2020Got a deal on it, and had realistic expectations on the level of quality I think. I enjoy the standard Famous Grouse with a mist of absinthe, but I can't say I'm pleasantly surprised. The "peated" (smokey) quality doesn't agree with me, even though I really have enjoyed the peat forward scotches I've had in the past (Ardbeg, Laphroaig). Perhaps its the salty sweet character that others note that has me thinking it's drinking cheaper than I expected. I need to try this on another day, because I'm slightly sickened by the flavor of this first taste.22.0 USD per Bottle -

Reviewed October 2, 2020The nose is not smokey which is a unique experience for me when drinking peated whiskey. Instead the nose is slightly sherried. I have to breathe pretty deeply from my tumbler to catch anything. Bam! The palate is a bit salty and sweet and here is where the smoke makes itself known. The finish is smokey and a little peppery. It’s a fairly smooth whiskey, but for a budget peated whiskey I’m a little more of a fan of Teacher’s. I love Famous Grouse Ruby Cask — it’s delicious and I had high hopes for Smokey Black, but I’m a bit disappointed.
