Description

Created in 1896 by Mathew Gloag, it was initially called the Grouse Blend but the 'Famous' prefix was added in 1905 after the success of the brand. Owned by the Edrington Group, it is stablemates with Highland Park and Macallan and was awarded the Royal Warrant in 1984. The blenders still work by the same four fundamentals as they always have: foundation (sticking to the Gloag family traditions); finest (keeping up the high quality); flavour (creating aroma through maturation); and fusion (perfecting the ideal blend). This 30 Year Old Famous Grouse Malt Scotch Whisky is a limited edition, with only 1980 bottles produced, and is created from the finest single malt whiskies including the world renowned 'Macallan' and 'Highland Park.'

Nose
Rich, complex, and fruity with notes of citrus, pineapple, marmalade, cherries, chocolate, rum, toffee, dried peels, nutty spice, and a clear sherry influence with juicy raisins and mixed fruit. Hints of caramel, honey, and a malty, woody character.
Palate
Equally complex with a thick mouthfeel, offering good sweetness, Muscovado sugar, rum, figs, fruitcake, dark chocolate, cinnamon, gingerbread, and red berries. Notes of sweet toffee, thick caramel, stewed pears, double cream, marmalade, citrus peel, and a hint of brown sugar, balanced by an oaky taste and some leather tobacco dryness.
Finish
Long, delicate, and complex, with fruity and gentle spice notes. Subtle apple strudel, creamy vanilla custard, and a slight dryness with lingering fruit sweetness.
