The Famous Grouse
The Famous Grouse[edit | edit source]
The Famous Grouse is a brand of blended Scotch whisky, first produced by Matthew Gloag & Son in 1896, and currently produced and owned by The Edrington Group. The single malt whiskies used in The Famous Grouse blend include the Edrington-owned Highland Park and The Macallan.
History[edit | edit source]
Matthew Gloag was a grocer and wine merchant in Perth, Scotland. In 1860, his son, William Gloag, took over the family business and began producing blended whiskies. In 1896, William's nephew, also named Matthew, created The Famous Grouse. It was named after the red grouse, Scotland's national game bird.
Production[edit | edit source]
The Famous Grouse is a blend of several malt and grain whiskies, with a high proportion of malt coming from the Highland Park and The Macallan distilleries. The blend is matured in oak casks for up to six months in warehouses in Scotland.
Varieties[edit | edit source]
There are several varieties of The Famous Grouse available, including The Famous Grouse Smoky Black, which is a blend that includes more peated malt whiskies, and The Famous Grouse Mellow Gold, which is a blend that includes more whiskies aged in sherry casks.
Recognition[edit | edit source]
The Famous Grouse has been the highest selling whisky in Scotland since 1980. It has also received several awards for its quality and taste.
