    Gold appearance; subtle, floral nose, hints of vanilla spice; medium light body with light, crisp grains giving way to oak; very tight balance. A warm and clean finish, with a spicy afterglow. This is… read more

    This is my third bottle of black grouse. I sometimes crave a smoke filled whisky and when I can't afford a malt these peated blends do the job quite well. It's obviously going after a slice of the JW … read more
