The Black Grouse Tasting note

By Miguel at 2011 Dec,06 in Tasting , The Famous Grouse

“No peat on the nose and a bit light taste but such great finish...”

Step into the dark side with this peaty yet delicately sweet whisky from the Famous Grouse. Named after the rare bird, the Black Grouse. The Black Grouse is a no-nonsense drink, with a strong and sweet opening thanks to the Islay malts and a gentle and aromatic finish.

This dram has a amber-like color.

Nose (89): strong. peaches, floral, citrus, honey, wood, spices.

Palate (85): light. peat, citrus, wood.

Finish (89): longer than average. peat, citrus, earth, floral.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Black Grouse with 88 points over 100.
