Famous Grouse
Blended — Scotland

N: Buttered biscuits, red wine, sea spray. Red fruit. Something medicinal in it too. Maybe a cereal grain scent as it warms. Some ethanol. It's an odd combo. Not really appealing or unappealing, but occasionally while I had this bottle I kinda found myself craving it.
P: More traditional. Caramel, vanilla, bread pudding. Tiniest bit of smoke. Good, rich, coating mouthfeel. Generic spice on the finish. Some bitterness builds with each sip. It's not unwelcome.
Decent for about twenty bucks. It's rich and flavorful, drinkable. And it's kinda its own thing, not really trying to knock off Johnnie Walker or Dewars, which I like. It's a step above those competitor's lowest levels. But not by much.

@skillerified well, in this case then: https://youtu.be/2FZuNALKt_0
@CKarmios Haha, I had no idea. Guess those ads don't run in L.A.
Ha ha interesting you should say that. Their ads would portray a grouse bird doing its own thing and walking its own way.
