More information Famous Grouse Smoky Black Whisky
The smoky nature of The Famous Smoky Black (previously The Black Grouse) whisky is due to the higher proportion of peated malts within the blend. The Famous Grouse’s Master Blender, Gordon Motion, explains that this is achieved by creating a peat fire underneath the malted barley whilst drying. Just by using a small amount of this peated barley intensifies the smoky taste in the blend and gives it a darker, russet colour.
The Famous Smoky Black whisky also incorporates a rare version of Glenturret with an exceptional grain, into the blend. This helps to produce a richer, lightly smoky and smooth flavour. When tasting you should also get light notes of spiciness, according to the expert Gordon Motion this Whisky has: “A long, lingering, aromatic spiciness with the Famous smoothness of The Famous Grouse.”
The Famous Grouse Smoky Black has been delicately crafted to support our parent blend, The Famous Grouse, which enjoys the great accolade of being Scotland’s favourite whisky for over 30 years. We recommend you try this whisky served neat or served long, over ice with Cola. It’s time to explore a smokier side to our Famous whisky!
