Well – someone bought me a bottle of this the other week as a new year thankyou. Must say, I am a grouse drinker by nature so was intrigued to try this out. As everyone says a nice peaty flavour which sits well on my palate.I really really enjoyed it. If it was the same price as normal grouse and as readily available I would switch. Half bottle consumed with pleasure on Friday evening and no sign of any hangover the next day. That’s always a huge bonus in my book.

Tried The Black Grouse in a tasting session tonight. What a terrible disappointment. Tasted liked someone had dumped some Liquid Smoke into a bottle of cheap young whisky. Raw and contrived it was rough and acrid. I think I will use this specimen as an example of a nasty dram at future tasting events… Good thing is that there are lots of other whiskys to try!

Having enjoyed a nice bottle of FG with my Brother in Law, Mike, and always enjoying the smoky peats from Islay, I decided to try the BG. I must admit – the peat did come through nicely, but the finish was an uneventul match. That said, I do look forward to a reasonably priced sip of FGB smoky peat and sugary smoothness, and I will enjoy it as a nice sipper. But I almost wish I would have spent the extra $10 on the FG 12 yr.

Sorry, though I understand it’s a taste thing. This stuff reminds me of the smells in the doctor’s office I had to go to as a kid to be cured from everything from pneumonia to tetanus ( and those horrible “kid” shots!!!). I know it’s a learned reaction but in that context I can’t stand the stuff! There are a lots of peated ( some very expensive) scotches that leave me in this state of mind. Ironically there are many ( I don’t know why except they don’t have that nose) that I love.

BTW, I’ll drink it and hold my nose anyway. I bought it in BC, Canada and can’t afford to throw it away.

I guess everyone smells, tastes and experiences things differently.

I have been drinking Glen Fiddich, MacCallan and Famous Grouse for many years until recently when my taste matured and turned toward the smoke and peat in Johnny Walker Black Label and some mild Islays. Well, I recently tried Black Grouse and I’m liking the mild peat smoke in this whisky very much. I find it a value. Thank you Mathew Gloag.

I enjoy the Black Grouse… despite a lot of negative comments. I love peaty whiskys and for the price… well, I’m quite happy to have a glass… or two!

Sorry people but I don’t like Black Grouse, please don’t change the Famous Grouse blend, I’m a big fan of Famous Grouse so I’m sticking to it. Cheers.

Well, I like it. Not a big fan of th FG as a blend, finding it a bit insipid and lemony- almost as lemony as Grant’s- amd I like a speyside/highland in a malt (Glendronach 12, Abourlour 10 or Glenfarclas 10 for preference) but the Black Grouse I really enjoy as a whisky mac with a healthy dose of Stones. The peatiness cuts through the ginger sweetness and makes a real mouthful, full of flavour.

I think some points have been missed by some of the responses ….. It’s not an Islay Single Malt … what it is as some have said is very nice blend. FG is our house Scotch as a blend …. Black Grouse will become our house blend in the colder weather when we apreciate the smoke and peatiness of Islay single malts which are rather dear. Thanks to the folks at FG!
