Tasting Notes

Colour

Deep amber with copper-gold sheen and mahogany edges.

Nose

Opulent aromas of toasted oak and vanilla-kissed malt, unfolding into dried apricots and sultanas with accents of toffee and cocoa. A whisper of spice and leather lingers, hinting at decades of refined maturation.

Palate

Silky, medium-bodied with a creamy texture. Dark dried fruit—fig and prune—blends with toasted oak, while vanilla and caramel weave through. A whisper of sherry sweetness adds depth, with orange zest and clove spice surfacing mid-palate, finishing in polished oak with cocoa notes and a warm, lingering glow.

Finish

An elegant, lingering finish unfolds in warm oak, with vanilla, caramel and toasted almond giving way to dried fruit and gentle spice. A whisper of cocoa lingers, fading to a refined, silky tail with subtle oak tannins.

Famous Grouse
The Famous Grouse is a blended Scotch whisky created by Matthew Gloag & Son in Perth, with the first Grouse whiskies launched in the late 1890s and The Famous Grouse name officially registered in 1905. Its red grouse label became one of the most recognisable designs in Scotch whisky, with the bird originally drawn by Philippa Gloag, Matthew Gloag’s daughter.
