The Famous Grouse
The Scotch itself comes in two varieties. The one I have is the normal blend. There is also a 12 Year old Gold Reserve which, of course, is not carried by BC liquor stores. The Famous Grouse is bottled by Matthew Gloag and Sons Ltd in Perth.
When you approach this whisky the light grassy aromas let you know that you are not tasting any ordinary blend. You know from the start that this is going to be a quality Scotch. There are no harsh scents of alcohol here. As you move the glass back to taste your nose is hit by smells of butterscotch. The taste is smooth from the beginning. A light hint of nuts at first, but it goes down smoothly, yet always with that bit of a kick you want in a Scotch. This is a very smooth, Scotch with simple flavours. There is no peat here. It goes down easily and is a pleasure to drink. I like it.
Oh, and check out their web site, very cool. http://www.famousgrouse.com/
