The first question most people ask when confronted with this whisky is "What is a Vintage Malt?" A Vintage malt is a relatively new edition to the ever-expanding number of whisky styles now available. Essentially, it aims to produce a highly individual whisky by blending whiskies from one single year of production. Bottlings often contain several ages of the same whisky to maintain a consistency of flavour.

The Famous Grouse Vintage Malt Whisky is created using whiskies from some of Scotland’s greatest distilleries including the Macallan and Highland Park.

"This is an exceptional scotch which outshines many aged blends at $45 and even $60." size>

TASTING NOTES: Bright gold colour. The nose is complex, rich with sherried fruitiness, raisins and orange peel. The palate displays exceptional smoothness - soft, full and spicy with a hint of citrus – substantially more powerful and distinctive than the standard 12 and 21 year old Grouse blends. Long, rich medium sweet, vanilla oak finish. This is an outstanding blending effort from Gloags. STOCKS LIMITED.
