The Famous Grouse Ruby Cask Series Blended Scotch Whisky

The Famous Grouse Ruby Cask Series Blended Scotch Whisky is the second release in the Famous Grouse Cask Series. This blend is finished in specially selected ruby Port casks, which adds a layer of rich fruitcake sweetness to the classic smoothness of The Famous Grouse. It is bottled at 40% ABV.

Tasting Notes:

• Appearance: A dark copper, golden blend.
• Aroma: Soft, toasty vanilla with a hint of spice (cinnamon and cloves). A gentle floral character is also noted.
• Taste: Mellow with fruitcake and soft oak notes.
• Finish: Rich and smooth, with a long finish full of interesting flavors.

Awards: While specific awards solely for the Ruby Cask are still being compiled, the Famous Grouse Cask Series and the core Famous Grouse blend have received recognition, including:

• Finalist Great Value at the Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2016.
• Silver Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

Overall Impression: The Famous Grouse Ruby Cask offers a richer and fruitier take on the classic blend, thanks to the Port cask finish. The influence of the Port casks brings a noticeable sweetness and notes reminiscent of fruitcake and baking spices, complementing the smooth and mellow character of The Famous Grouse. It’s considered an affordable “everyday-premium” blend with a unique cask finish, making it a good option for those looking for a slightly sweeter and more complex Famous Grouse experience.
