The Famous Grouse has been given the sherry cask treatment here, imparting layers of toasted nuts and winter spice to the classic blended Scotch. A selection of Speyside malts matured in sherry-seasoned European casks are blended with grain whiskies, and that blend is then married in more sherry casks and butts. Classic sipping for a winter's eve.
Nose: Warm candied nuts, biscuity malt, baked apples, and a sprinkling of cinnamon.
Palate: Sweetly spiced biscuits lead, joined by stewed fruit and creamy malt. Toasted almonds follow, with shavings of dark chocolate.
Finish: Baking spices finish things up, with hearty barley and toffee in tow.
