The Black Grouse Alpha Edition 700ml is a distinctive expression of blended Scotch whisky, created by the renowned makers of The Famous Grouse. Crafted to offer a richer and more intense flavour profile, this edition is a tribute to those who appreciate the deeper, smokier side of Scotch whisky. With its carefully selected blend of malts and grains, The Black Grouse Alpha Edition stands out for its remarkable balance of smoky, fruity, and oak tones, making it a favourite for whisky connoisseurs and those looking to explore something new.

Tasting Notes

The Black Grouse Alpha Edition presents a robust and full-bodied character. The first sip reveals an enticing smokiness that comes from the peated malt whiskies in the blend.

  • Nose: Aromas of dried fruits, subtle vanilla, and a touch of spice greet you, layered with a distinct smokiness.
  • Palate: Rich flavours of dark chocolate, dried apricots, and ripe plums are balanced with notes of charred oak and vanilla. The smoky undertone carries throughout, adding depth and complexity.
  • Finish: The finish is long and warming, with lingering smoky notes and a hint of spice, making each sip a rewarding experience.

Accolades

The Black Grouse Alpha Edition has garnered praise from critics and whisky enthusiasts alike. It has been described by master blenders as one of the finest expressions in the Famous Grouse range. This whisky has received commendations for its expertly balanced smoky profile, which sets it apart from traditional blends. Notably, The Black Grouse won Gold at the 2013 International Spirits Challenge, further solidifying its reputation as a standout whisky.

Product History

The Black Grouse Alpha Edition builds on the legacy of The Famous Grouse, which has been one of Scotland’s most beloved whiskies since its inception in the 1800s. This limited edition was crafted to cater to the growing demand for peated Scotch whiskies, offering a more intense and complex flavour than the original Black Grouse. The name “Alpha” refers to the alpha male black grouse, symbolising strength and dominance, much like the bold flavour profile of this whisky. It’s an expression of the distillery’s expertise in blending and maturation, making it a must-try for fans of rich, smoky Scotch.

Little-Known Facts

  • The Black Grouse Alpha Edition features a higher proportion of Islay malts, contributing to its pronounced smoky character.
  • It’s best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to fully appreciate its depth of flavours. However, it also pairs excellently with rich cheeses and dark chocolate.
