AWARD WINNING PARTNERSHIP HELPING TO SAVE THE RARE BLACK GROUSE
The partnership between the RSPB (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds) and The Black Grouse Blended Scotch Whisky has been ongoing since its launch in 2008 and has seen a huge amount of money raised to help stem the decline of the endangered black grouse in four RSPB reserves around the country.
Since its introduction in 2008, they have raised around $500,000 dollars




Famous Grouse 
Did you know that Famous Grouse is the #1 selling Scotch in Scotland.  It is made from a blend of Macallan and Highland Park!



Here is the full line we have in stock now....


Famous Grouse Blended Scotch 750ml and 1.75ltr
Our signature whisky is named after the Red Grouse (Lagopus lagopus scoticus), Scotland´s national game bird. The Famous Grouse is testimony to the unsurpassed blending skills of Matthew Gloag and Son, a family business founded in 1800. The secret is in the way we marry the finest malt whiskies, such as The Macallan and Highland Park, with exceptional grain whiskies for an unusually long period in fully seasoned oak casks. The result is a blend of the smoothest possible character. Raised in the Highlands, The Famous Grouse is proud to be Scotland´s favourite whisky. 


Famous Grouse 12 Year Old
Try something a little different, with this rare balance of soft oak and citrus. The Famous Grouse 12 year old malt whisky is created from the finest single malt scotch whiskies including the world renowned The Macallan and Highland Park. These whiskies are left undisturbed to mature for a minimum of 12 years. The result is an invigorating spirit with a long, rewarding finish. 


Famous Grouse 12 Year Old Gold 
A century of craftsmanship and an outstanding commitment to quality has inspired the creation of The Famous Grouse Gold Reserve Deluxe Scotch whisky. Its exceptionally rich, silky smooth taste is the result of 12 years of careful ageing in oak. With a long, full finish, it has a truly outstanding character. 


Famous Grouse 18 Year Old
Dive into the depths of the award winning The Famous Grouse 18 year old malt whisky. Its dark amber colour and scents of jasmine beckon you to luxuriate in a taste suffused with dried fruits. It is created from the finest single malt scotch whiskies including the world renowned The Macallan and Highland Park. These whiskies are left undisturbed to mature for a minimum of 18 years. Only then is each cask individually selected to unleash this fully flavoured malt whisky. 


The Black Grouse
The Black Grouse (Tetrao tetrix) is a rare relative of Scotland’s national game bird, the Red Grouse. Similarly, The Black Grouse Blended Scotch Whisky, born out of a marriage of The Famous Grouse with Islay malt whiskies, is a breed apart. The smoky influence of the peated malts is balanced by the trademark smoothness of The Famous Grouse to create underlying hints of cocoa and spice. With a long, smoky, aromatic finish, it’s hardly surprising that The Black Grouse has been listed as The Best New Scotch Blended Whisky in Jim Murray’s 2008 Whisky Bible.
