Description
Famous Grouse Naked Malt First Fill Oloroso Sherry Cask 2021 70cl, 40% is a smooth blended malt Scotch whisky connected to the Famous Grouse family heritage. The whisky was previously known as The Naked Grouse before being rebranded as Naked Malt in 2021, with the same blended malt style continuing under the new name.
This whisky is made from selected single malt Scotch whiskies and extra-matured in first-fill Oloroso sherry casks for at least six months. These casks are described as “naked” because they had not previously held whisky, helping to add a rich, fruity and sherry-led flavour profile.
The result is a soft, sweet and approachable blended malt with notes of raisins, sultanas, dried fruit, vanilla, toffee, apple, honey, fudge, spice and oak. Bottled at 40%, it is easy to enjoy neat, over ice or in simple whisky serves, while still offering clear first-fill sherry cask character.
Why Choose Famous Grouse Naked Malt First Fill Oloroso Sherry Cask 2021 70cl, 40%
This bottle stands out because it offers a richer and fruitier style than a standard blended Scotch whisky. As a blended malt, it is made from malt whiskies rather than grain whisky, giving it a rounder malt character and a smoother sherried profile.
For drinkers, it is soft, sweet and very approachable, with dried fruit, vanilla, honey, toffee and warming spice. For customers who enjoy Famous Grouse but want something richer and more malt-focused, Naked Malt is a very good step up.
Ideal For.
This bottle is ideal for Famous Grouse fans looking for a smoother and more sherry-influenced blended malt.
It is ideal for whisky drinkers who enjoy raisins, sultanas, vanilla, fudge, honey, apple, toffee, dried fruit, oak and gentle spice.
It is also ideal for casual sipping, whisky highballs, gifting, home bars and customers who prefer sweet, mellow and approachable Scotch whisky.
