The Famous Grouse blend was conceived by a Perth based grocer and drinks merchant named Matthew Gloag. In 1860, his son, William Gloag assumed control of his father’s company and started blending whisky. It was in 1896 that William’s son, named Matthew for his grandfather, controlled operations, creating the Grouse brand in 1897. During the early 20th century, blended whisky was a very popular product and the Famous Grouse went from strength to strength.

Today, the Famous Grouse is the second best-selling blended Scotch whisky in the UK and the 32nd biggest drinks brand worldwide. Furthermore, it is heralded as Scotland’s favourite drink. The blend is made up of noteworthy components; whisky from The Macallan, The Glenrothes and Highland Park are included, though 65% of the spirit content is made up of grain whisky.

The Famous Grouse is also notable for being the first blending company to release a cask finished blended whisky. The company founded The Famous Grouse Experience at the Glenturret distillery and the experience is as much a museum for whisky distillation as it is about the Grouse brand.

Just like in the 15 Years that I reviewed earlier I find a peculiar Aroma in the 12 Years that I can’t quite place. It’s something that reminds me of Cooked Vegetables with a little added Sulphur but that doesn’t make a lot of sense, does it. Anyway, it’s clear that there are some Refill Macallan Ex-Sherry casks in the mix. The rest is mostly Glenrothes I think while it’s very hard or even almost impossible to detect Highland Park. Is there the faintest puff of Smoke in the background? It could be but I’m not gonna put a lot of money on that. On the Nose, this Famous Grouse has Sweet notes but there’s a slightly Sour touch to it as well. I find Toasted Barley, Toast with a mix of Butter and Margarine, light Honey, Toffee, Caramel, Hay, Dried Apricot, Apples, Plums, Nuts, light Vanilla, Orange, Nougat and hints of Espresso and Milk Chocolate. The Alcohol is not fully integrated. At this price level, it’s not at all bad but objectively speaking there’s not too much of interest going on.

The Famous Grouse Malt Whisky Aged 21 Years was discontinued in 2007 because it was so expensive to make! Now it has become a prized collectors item both for the quality of the Malt Whisky, it’s packaging and of course its rarity. Absolute luxurious gift box with royal purple silk lining. Pssst there is a lot of Macallan 21 Year Old in the bottle…

The Famous Grouse Blended Malt Scotch Whisky 21 Years Old is created from the finest Single Malt whiskies in the World, including the Macallan 21 Year Old ($400 per bottle) and Highland Park 21 Year Old ($200 per bottle). Each of these individual Single Malts have been left undisturbed in sherry casks for a minimum of 21 years. Only then are they lovingly brought together and married in cask, allowing the whiskies extra time to blend together to create the exceptionally smooth and rounded character of the Famous Grouse 21. Sadly this much loved 21 Year Old Malt Whisky was discontinued in the early 2000’s and is now a much sought after rarity that appreciates in value each year. Gift boxed in a plush purple box will purple silk lining and brass fittings.
