Суммаризация отзывов

The Famous Grouse — дешёвый купажированный скотч, который чаще всего описывают как простой, лёгкий и пригодный для повседневного употребления или миксов, хотя часть отзывов отмечает водянистость, зерновой характер и горьковатый финиш.
развернуть подробно
В отзывах виски чаще всего характеризуют как недорогой и доступный купаж, который хорошо подходит для повседневного питья или смешивания. Несколько текстов прямо говорят о хорошем соотношении цены и качества, о том, что за эти деньги это достойный вариант, и что он лучше многих дешёвых купажей из супермаркета. При этом многие отмечают его простоту: лёгкое, мягкое, сладковатое питьё без сложности, иногда с зерновыми, солодовыми, карамельными, ванильными, фруктовыми и лёгкими дымными нотами. Некоторые считают его хорошей отправной точкой для начинающих или стандартным «дежурным» купажем. Вместе с тем в отзывах есть и заметная критика: его называют слишком мягким, водянистым, плоским, с коротким финишем, спиртовыми и горькими оттенками, а иногда и с неприятными металлическими или пепельными нотами. Часть текстов указывает, что он годится в основном для коктейлей или миксов, а не для внимательной дегустации; другие прямо не рекомендуют его или называют одним из наименее привлекательных крупных купажей. Таким образом, в текстах виден скорее разброс мнений вокруг одной и той же темы: приемлемый и удобный бюджетный купаж, но без особой глубины и с заметными недостатками для тех, кто ищет больше характера.

I compared Catto's with it and it was a duel of two bad, bitter blends, and I did not really enjoy one. Fortunately, I had only miniatures from Dios, having a whole bottle, I would be very disappointed. Everyone has something quite good in them, but both suffer from thinness and, above all, annoying bitterness. I can not recommend either. Even in their blends category, they are downsides.

One of the better of the low budget blends from the supermarket. No alcoholic burns and scratches like Johnnie W. Red L. Some smoke and lots of liquorice / liquorice on the nose, a hint of toffee Some oak and floral notes, honey. Sweet, mild on the palate, unfortunately watery and somewhat flat. But the taste is okay for a low budget blend. The finish is short and concludes with some oak, blossom honey and milk chocolate.

Much better than I remember. Although young and grainy, it can be enjoyed neat. Had this once in a pub and couldn't finish my glass! Maybe the bottle was open for a long time while exposed to light, as most often is the case in a pub.
Slàinte Mhath Super Administrator 74 03 aug 2019 3:17 pm
From time to time, it can be useful to 're-calibrate' our sense of smell and taste with a simple, easy blended Scotch. Famous Grouse features a light and fuzzy nose with some toffee sweetness, coal smoke and hints of citrus fruits. On the palate, the use of exhausted, old casks becomes quite obvious. Thin, malty and dominated by grain whisky, there are faint notes of brown sugar, maple syrup and ash that lead into a plain, uninspiring and honey bitter finish. It's not the worst blend there is, but a strong reminder why I am a single malt aficionado. RATING: 2.5/5.0 stars ≙ 74 pts → SUBPAR

0156-FAMOUS GROUSE BLENDED SCOTCH WHISKEY 40% ...I can consider it an accessible blend. It's relatively inexpensive and widely available. It can be enjoyed on its own, but it's certainly excellent in mixers. Of course, these types of blends are meant for drinking, not for figuring out and breaking down.

I think for the money this is decent, easy drinking blended whisky. Not my usual tipple for a cheap whisky but you could do a lot worse.
Armiil Member Senior 80 24 dec 2021 3:33 pm
At first, I thought this whisky didn't have much to offer, but later on, it grew on me and became my standard weekend sip-starter. The nose is fragrant, fresh and it's full of sweet, floral and fruity notes: apricots, peaches, apple cider and some light and floral notes. There's some nuttiness to bring richness, caramel for sweetness, and vanilla for spices. Some oakiness shows off in the palette and that's pretty much it. Nice, but slightly uneventful whisky with no notable flaws. 80 points.

The blend consists of over 30 different malt and grain whiskeys, all of high quality, so there used include Highland Park and The Macallan. Partly because Famous Grouse has a very mild flavor.

One of the worst cheap blends out there! Smells like caramel, taste like caramel... I bet most of the bottle is caramel coloring! There is also in there some badly made young grain whisky and some drops of also badly made and young malt whisky. I think it was a lot better some years ago...

N: Legs - medium-thin viscosity. The tour guide said thinner legs equates to stronger alcohol - isn't that the wrong way round? SW.org I'm nosing caramel, chocolate, orange citrus and vanilla with hints of sherry. Simply/clearly presented, with some density, weight and competency. T: The sherry influence is glaringly obvious and the grain element [North British I believe] is intergrated rather well. Vanilla, sherry fruits and dry spices [cloves and mixed spice] develop into the finish. F: More wood showing now with more vanilla, chocolate and dry wood. C: It's good actually, skilfully blended, no doubt. I actually prefer it to the Glenturret single malt WB. Further reading WF78 & whisky.com. Scores a D[+]

I just can't... This is so bad that it's not even suitable for mixing drinks. I did a penicillin with a Lagavulin float as usual. The copper metallic cheap blend notes just go right through the supposedly strong smoky islay and ginger notes. Now what do i do with this one litre bottle? I guess my toilet got a bit dirty lately.

The Famous Grouse - Blended Scotch Whiskey, 40% The name says it all, this is not a painting but a blend with Grain Whiskey. Supermarket product with a nice background: Probably the most well-known and everywhere best-selling blend at least in Europe and America is the Johnny Walker. All over? No, in the home country of whiskey, the well-known grouse has higher sales rates ... n. And what did Johnny Walker do as a promotion? Develop a computer game and initially distribute only to the catering, in which one shoots the competition in the form of grouse. The game gained world fame. Nose: Very soft and mild, seemingly high percentage of grain. Mildly fruity with a good portion of grain and behind it a tiny touch of oak. Palate: Again very gentle with lots of cereals, light oak and again a little fruit. Finish: Medium and easy - easy drinking. Conclusion: Macallan and Highland Park should be main ingredients, 65% are Grain Whiskeys. The Grain makes the blend extremely soft and easy, very nice. 67/100 points (tasted 2011, about 12 €) posted on my facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/notesofwhisky

Long narrow legs sheet down fast, slow secondary ones. Water smooths it: brings up malty and sweet notes, and pushes back the tannins. Lacks crispiness, which is partially enhanced by water, to the decrement of the range.

This is a much better than people think...I think.

It's better than you think whisky fans...give it another shot....pun intended.

Famous Grouse (40%). Jan 2019 - Aroma typically grain-forward, wooden pencils, crayons, apple, squash ball and oak. Mostly crayon. Taste oaky, salty, boozy, marzipan, maybe even more peated than recent bottlings of Teachers (surprisingly). I was expecting something overly smooth, easy and uninspiring but it's actually quite intense - spicy and almost hot for the low ABV. Fine, but there are better alternatives. (3.1/74) Jan 2020 - Famous grouse 40% very grain with a punch of peat 3.15/75
