Famous Grouse Test Flight - PEI

[pmullin]

Prince Edward Island (Canada) is being used as a test market for some new potential Famous Grouse offerings. They include: "The Naked Grouse" [I did not make this up, honest!], "The Snow Grouse", and "Famous Grouse No. 1 Blend".

The web site for the promotion is: http://testflight2008.com/index.asp

My general impression is that they are testing "Scotch for the non-Scotch Drinker" products, as the site mentions things like freezing and mixing the stuff.

Thanks for the link dude, any idea on how $$??

Not sure about the price...

My wife is going over to "The Island" on business later this week, so I'll get her to grab a few bottle for me. I'll post a follow-up when she gets back.

They all sell for $39.99, about the same price as the Famous Grouse 12.

I remarked on these here. (Note: This links to Another Forum.)

Thanks for the link Mr. TH! The comments on the local newspaper article are indeed interesting.

Ian Buxton has a related posting on the Whisky Channel. It looks like the Snow Grouse will be brought to market:

I purchased all three of these in Charlottetown the other day. Also, in Nova Scotia, a Glen Breton Ice 15yo, matured in Jost icewine casks (presumably finished rather than complete maturation--it's not clear from the label).
