Famous Grouse The Black Grouse Peated Scotch Whisky

Colour

Deep amber with burnished copper and a mahogany-tinged glow.

Nose

Peat smoke intertwines with warm vanilla and toasted grain, opening into layers of dried fruit—prune, fig and raisin—nurtured by sherry-cask sweetness. Cocoa nibs and toasted almond mingle with dark chocolate notes, while subtle oak and a whisper of sea air lend depth and polish.

Palate

Coaxed smoke wraps around a core of honeyed malt and vanilla, with sherried sweetness lending dried fruit and cocoa. Notes of orange zest, toasted oak, and a whisper of spice lift the palate, while the peat remains poised, not harsh. Finishes long and softly smoky, with glossy sweetness lingering.

Finish

Peat-forward yet refined, the finish coats the palate in smoky sweetness, slowly yielding vanilla and toffee with hints of dried fruit. A delicate spice and oak frame linger, leaving a warm, resinous peat echo that fades to a soft, comforting warmth.
