Famous Grouse Vintage 1987 12 Year Old 70cl, 40%

Description

Famous Grouse Vintage 1987 12 Year Old 70cl, 40% is a rare blended malt Scotch whisky from The Famous Grouse, bottled as part of the Vintage Malt Whisky series. This release was made using whiskies from the 1987 vintage and bottled at 12 years old, giving it a much more collectible identity than the standard Famous Grouse blend.

This bottle is listed as a blended malt, with specialist references naming Highland Park and Macallan among the distilleries involved. Whisky.de records the 1987 vintage as distilled in 1987 and bottled in 1999, with a 12 year old age statement, 70cl bottle size and 40% ABV.

The style is rich, smooth and mature, with sultanas, figs, oranges, bananas, mint, soft smoke, citrus, spice, nuts, vanilla and dry sweetness. It is a very interesting bottle for Famous Grouse collectors because it belongs to the older vintage-dated blended malt side of the brand, rather than the modern core range.
