Whiskies from 'The Famous Grouse Experience'

Read the Whisky Magazine tastings notes for whiskies from The Famous Grouse Experience.

• Famous Grouse

Creates the illusion of being massively more malty than it really is. Very good extraction of flavours from the wood seems to be the secret (or part of it. I am in awe of the dexterity of the blender, though the result is a little soft and sweet for my personal tastes.

• Famous Grouse 18 Years Old

• Famous Grouse 1987 Vintage Malt Whisky

The Grouse at its most graceful.

• Famous Grouse 1989 Vintage Malt

The Grouse enthusiast who tastes this vatted version will be seduced by it. The aromas and flavours suggest malts from the company's own distilleries – and perhaps a little more Highland Park than last year?

• Famous Grouse 30 Years Old

• Famous Grouse Cask Strength

Like the regular Grouse, it tastes maltier and bigger than it really is. An excellent justification of cask strength.

• Famous Grouse Finest

A beautifully mingled aromatic palette. But this whisky wiould have delivered more character if bottled at a higher strength.

• Famous Grouse GOld Reserve

A superb job of blending. When I tasted this whisky on its own, I thought it was good, but not especially distinctive. Tasted among its competitors, it was one of the standouts.

• Famous Grouse Islay Cask Finish

To reconcile the style of the regular Grouse with Islay is an achievement, but a dubious one. Grouse has a powerful franchise, but Highland already has an Islay-accented blend in the excellent Black Bottle.

• Famous Grouse Port Wood Finish

Port wood can add toffeeish and spicy flavours, rounding out a whisky without adding an obvious wine flavour. That is what happens here.

• Famous Grouse Scottish Oak

Seamlessly put together. Best drunk neat.
