Just found your channel recently and I love it! We’ve picked up the famous grouse a few times and liked it ok (better than some others at a lower price point that we’ve tried), so we decided to try the black and we kept getting this horrible iodine/medicine-y taste at the end that was just awful. Would that be the ashy note you mention or could you tell me what it might be so I don’t ever get anything with that in it again lol? Thank you! 🙂
and btw famous grouse only gets better as the bottle lessens
The first thing I notice in this, and indeed the normal Grouse, is the Highland Park “hot water bottle” note on the nose. Anyone else get this?
How about Black Grouse Alpha Edition?
Sad to see what’s happened. I used to defend The Famous Grouse quite aggressively a few years ago. I need to find a cheap blend. Glenmorangie is burning holes in my pocket.
Is this the same as “Smoky Black”? This has different packaging. I prefer the cheaper, regular old, Famous Grouse.
Its so much cheaper to drink at home, and you dont have to worry about the driving situation…its a winner
ohh really ralfy ,you are a rude snob when it comes to the famous grouse,,i found it to my licking as a perfect sipping whisky that lacks all the harshness,fiery bitterness of snob whisky drinkers ,,mix? really? and you think george dickel was a good sipping one??? haaaaaa i would not mix me piss with that one
Strangely, that part of the video from 13:21 to 13:28 reminds me of something an old girlfriend of mine used to enjoy, though I can’t seem to recall exactly what it was. Hmm…..
You know he did it before he started the video just to make sure lol
Just had a the Black Grouse on the Queen Mary in Long Beach, California with a wonderful dinner at the Churchill room. Went well with food. Who knew? Really enjoyed this and ended up bought this when I got home.
hi Ralfy,which is better black grouse or famous Port Wood Finish?
Something about this review. You didn’t seem in all that great of mood. Even though the whisky got an 83, not many positive remarks were said. I hate to see your thoughts on a really bad whisky.
Hello Ralfy.
Love your videos! But will you do a review on Lidl’s Abrachan scotch whisky?
missed seeing a new review today! hope u are okay!
God bless & keep u safe!
I take it you’re not a fan of the Grouse!
It is the default whisky though, still, could be worse, it could be Bell’s!
you forgot the smoky black grouse
Ralfy… have you (or anyone) tried the Cutty Sark “Prohibition” blend?
its 50% abv at $26. and readily available in the States.
Ralfy, pubs are DYING all over the UK because people drink at home!
Quick question, here in Canada a bottle of Black Grouse costs substantially more than Teacher’s ($35 to $24, after tax), yet you gave them very similar ratings. Do you think that it would be worth paying an additional $9 for the Black Grouse?
geezus christ, Ralfy!
Hi Ralfy, will you be doing the black grouse alpha edition. saw it in waitrose in more polished packaging than the normal black grouse.
“Dearer”..wot a strange meaning for more expensive….. black is ok if you are on a budget.
Dear sir how do you feel about Duncan Taylor 12 year or the 18-year the blended Scotch what’s your what is your take on this particular Blended
Hi Ralfy! You mention peat in this whisky. How does that taste come to be in Whisky? Filtered through it? Added? Thanks for your being here to help us novices out!
Ralfy! I love watching your videos. Here’s a unique malt mention for you. Hello you malty heart warriors! Its a shout out for my son, whos my little heart hero. My 2 year Nathan has a condition called Ebsteins Anomaly that affects 1 in 200,000 people and he’s had 20 surgeries in his first 2 years of life including 6 open heart surgeries. It would be cool if you gave a mention to all of the little heart warriors out there in one of your videos. Cheers!
Hi Ralfy! I have a bottle right here and it is 43%, is this another “version” or just a mistake?
Your videos are really something else! I’ve watched a lot of them over the years, it’s great that you do this! Congratulations!
i really dont like a whiskey that is too sweet, like a jack daniels honey tenessee whiskey, too sweet. with this grouse, does that sugary taste really plant itself on your palette?
Ralfy, please do a french Whisky review!
Great channel by the way. I’ve been drinking whisky about ten years but i’m more of a cask ale fan. Really enjoy your tasting notes. Ha ha my wife and i get a bottle of grouse every weekend although i like The Macallan.
So famouse grouse that bad huh?
Haha Ralfy telling it like it is as always! Don’t know enough about blends just now, but want to experiment with some of the decent cheapish ones to see what I can mix them with; and save the single malts for another time. 🙂
Great smoky blend on the rocks…delicious..
Haha, really smooth pouring in the end. Exact on the mark.
One of the most entertaining vlogs Ralfy 😉 I like it when you are right on the ball! If you can make a vlog of this, then why not of the others which you find not upto the mark, so that we as buyers – BEWARE & TAKE CARE!
ralfystuff The beginning of the movie, it’s so FUNNY! Keep going with the good humor and the great reviews.
