The Famous Grouse is named after the Red Grouse, Scotland's national game bird. First produced in 1860 (when it was just 'The Grouse'), The Famous Grouse has been the No. 1 whisky in Scotland since 1980. A delight that is second to none, enjoyable and award-winning. It received a double honour in 2004, both as the main ingredient in the Cocktail of the Year and as the winner of the Gold medal in the International Spirit Challenge. Bouquet: The famous bouquet of this extraordinary Single Malt entices with its balanced aromatic fullness featuring traces of citrus.
