The Famous Grouse Malt Whisky, 12 year old, 40%
Price: $35.00 ● Issue: Winter 2005 ● Reviewer: John Hansell
Lovely balance on the nose and palate. Soft and gently textured, too. The sweetness of the whisky (honey, fruit gum drops, and malty vanilla), dovetail nicely with light, bright citrus and teasing dried spices. Heather/floral notes enhance the whisky’s complexity. Clean, delicately polished oak finish. A very versatile, inexpensive, easy-drinking whisky.
