Famous Grouse Ruby Cask

Nose: Wood. Sweet, dried red fruits. Maple syrup. Palate: Light and thin body. Raisins. Some very subtle jamaican ginger cake notes or maybe soreen cake. Finish: Gentle barrel wood. Developing baking spices. The aftertaste is that of a tawny port with a tannic dryness. I wasn't sold on this at first but it got a little more complex in a short amount of time. It's easy to dismiss this as cheap swill but it has its place.

Dried fruits and nuts on the nose. The palate is dried oranges and a hint of chocolate. The finish is short, but peppery. At this price point I’m extremely surprised at its high quality. On the second sip, the nose really opens up with chocolate and vanilla which carries through to the palate.

Slight rose hue to the coloring. Nice sweet fruity aroma, medium body, and medium sweetness. Tastes of cinnamon, cloves, oak, and vanilla. Very pleasant and mild. Such an easy sipper.

Gold color. Oily on the glass. Smooth and supple with the ruby fruits nicely present. Pretty spicy as well. It’s nothing fancy, but for less than €20 a bottle it a solid 2.5

Nice smell of port, sorry for the taste Overall, It is okay to try again. It might be a good starter to try port cask

This is one of my favorite blended scotches. Lighter than Naked Grouse but similar notes. Very pleasant.
