A refined extension of Scotland’s best-selling whisky, The Famous Grouse 18 Year Old is a premium blended malt that elevates the house style with an age statement—matured for a minimum of 18 years. While the iconic Famous Grouse blend references Highland Park and The Macallan, this expression brings added complexity, depth, and maturity uncommon in everyday blends. Now discontinued, it remains a sought-after offering for both seasoned enthusiasts and brand loyalists.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Rich and inviting—think fudgy caramel, dark chocolate, and dried fruits, retaining the brand’s characteristic honeyed heartbeat.
Palate: Silky and layered. Prominent notes of toffee, nutty caramel, and gentle oak spice, followed by drier fruit tones and a refined sweetness.
Finish: Balanced and warm. Lingering flavors of dark chocolate, soft spice, and mature malt linger long after the last sip.
Collector’s Note
Since its discontinuation around a decade ago, The Famous Grouse 18 Year Old has become a collectible gem. Beloved for its accessible luxury, it’s an approachable vintage offering that stands out for both affordability and craftsmanship within the blended malt category.
