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.
