Fuck yeah! Im being a philanthropist today. Gonna update my resume!
I really dislike this whisky… no complexity at all with a harsh taste that inflicts the senses.
The Famous Grouse is one I revisit every year or two… I usually consider it money well spent. Some years the sherried components have been more forward, but it’s no surprise that downscale whiskies see less sherry today… Compare it to it’s alternatives and it scores some points.
I’ve often wondered how much of the bitterness of 3 year grains comes from tired casks and how much from caramel colouring. The industry will tell you it’s tasteless, but Willie Tait once added (an admittedly generous) dose of e150 to a glass of water for me, and it was nasty-bitter!!
For those times when you ‘just want a drink, you don’t want to study it’ FG is an above average alternative… If you (like me) sip your whiskies neat, another 10 USD opens up a world of more interesting alternatives…
I bought a bottle of this whiskey today and really feel like I waisted my money, this is a really harsh whiskey. another dust collector.
It’s not a terrible whisky but for the same price teachers highland cream is far superior.
How much
:37 the call of the cheap grouse…
Great whisky to mix with coke or if you just want a glass of whisky to warm you up and dont want to spend those expensive single malts!
The Famous Grouse was one of the very first whiskies I bought when I was first getting into whisky in my early twenties. Good memories in that sense, but if I want a cheap, available blend nowadays, I find the Hankey Bannister, the Scottish Leader or Teacher’s Highland Cream offer better quality for similar money. (Although sadly the Teacher’s has gone down in quality).
can i get a recommendation for something good under 40$
Well below 20 for a full litre?? WTF?
I live in Europe, and I’ve just bought a 0.5 litre bottle for well over twenty. This ain’t no cheap whiskey for us.
I´ve bought a bottle and This whisky is much better than Chivas regal 12 years and black label.
So, what would be the best option to taste as a starter? I like beer and some wines (low tannin, merlot or chardonnay) and always stop drinking whisky after a sip 🙂 which brand or type should I try (or with what: coke, ice, etc.)
Horst you need to review Bell’s, for me I think it is one of the better budget blends
Amazing price point for the quality.
what bitterness? this was the only whisky ive tried thus far that was smooth with no harsh fiery bitterness,in fact most of the whiskies you review have bitterness that you dont mention
you should try monkey’s shoulder
HOOORST WOHOOO!!! KEEP IT UP
Horst doesn’t like the screw caps but I bought a 18 year old of Famous Grouse and the cork broke off in the bottle. This Scotch is so cheap that you are better off with a screw cap trust me. Great review as always Horst.
no peat mention?
By far the best cheap blend
The only good thing I can say about this whisky is that it is cheap. But the tast… Pfy
Masterclass reviews. Just curb a ver very very very………………. long intro part.
Calling this Scotch is false advertising. It doesn’t taste like Scotch, it doesn’t smell like Scotch and instead of a warm glow it gives you a nasty head ache.
This makes me shivers and gags
I do hate to be the pedant, but _’Famouse’_ is a misspelling. I hope you’ll consider editing the title of this video, and the description.
really good bang for the buck stuff
this is a nice drinkable blend
