    Good Points: Pretty smooth for a blend, probably the best scotch blend I've had, but that is not saying much from my experiences, I've had Ballantine's and McIvor also. Irish blends are much better. Pick one.


    Bad Points: Harsh nose is evident, ketchup smell in nose also. Grain Whisky detracts from the smooth sweet taste of the single malts.


    General comments: Cut with water the harsh smell and taste dissappears. Overall a good whisky, but for the money I'd go for the Speyburn single malt, which is smokey, honey sweet, and smooth compared to the famous grouse, and only a few dollars more in most places.

    I have drank scotch for many years but just tasted Famous Grouse 6 months ago and will never go back to the others. It is truly terrific.

    A fantastic quality blended whisky, containing a blend of some fine malts including Highland Park. Well-rounded flavour, good on the nose and reasonably priced.
    Perhaps the second-finest blended Scotch behind the world-renowned Johnnie Walker.

    The Famous Grouse Blended Whiskey: Here we are, famous grouse, easy as heck to comeby here, but a fine scotch blended whiskey none the less. The nose is quite fierce, rough sugary sweetness, some hints of honey, clovey alcohol on the nose also. Taste is sweet and spicy, hints of eastern spices, and the usual christmas cloves and the like, strong ethanolic aftertaste

    Drinkable, yes, too sweet? perhaps, but all round a very good blend.
