About This Whiskey
The Black Grouse is a blended Scotch whisky that brings together a mix of malt and grain whiskies, with a notable emphasis on the peaty flavors that are characteristic of Islay whiskies. This blend is a step up from the standard Famous Grouse, incorporating more heavily peated malts, particularly from Islay distilleries. At 40% ABV, The Black Grouse offers a smooth yet flavorful whisky, with the smoky depth of peat balanced by the sweeter, more approachable elements of the grain whisky. It’s an ideal choice for those looking for an accessible introduction to peated whiskies while still enjoying a rounded, well-balanced dram.
