Product Information

In 1870, following Matthew’s death, the company was sold to Highland Distillers (the same company that owns Macallan as of 1996). From there, the whisky has gained a much wider appeal, becoming the most popular whisky in Scotland in 1980 and being awarded a Royal Warrant in 1984.

I can still taste that fruity aspect, but it’s more like dried apricots and orange slices at this point. Much less lemon or melon, which are lighter and weaker in intensity by comparison. I can also taste much more of the traditional scotch whisky flavors — specifically, that almost bread-like malted barley flavor with a touch of honey. On ice, this is significantly closer to the original Famous Grouse. Matthew Gloag wins the contract to supply food and wine for the visit of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert to Perth

Taking a sip, that fruit-forward flavor persists. This version seems to be a bit more “punched in” in terms of the saturation of those flavors than the original Famous Grouse edition (probably thanks to those sherry casks used in the finishing process). The first thing I get is actually a bit of orange citrus, followed by some melon and apple. On Ice First launched in 2011 as a blended Scotch matured in first-fill Sherry casks, The Naked Grouse was billed as a ‘smoother, sweeter’ addition to The Famous Grouse extended family. Blended Malt whisky continues to rise in popularity and is recruiting new younger consumers. The contemporary whisky category is showing solid double-digit growth, with no signs of slowing.

Economic depression, coupled with high taxation, had forced a high reliance on export markets. However, as was the case with a handful of other blenders, the company’s distribution to markets close to the United States such as Canada, Latin America and the West Indies suddenly shot up. If some shipments made their way into the States, then so be it. The Naked Malt blend, according to official tasting notes, has hints of buttery toffee and sweet spice on the nose, with notes of vanilla, stewed fruit and raisins on the palate with a rich and sherried spice finish, creating a contemporary spirit that gives consumers the freedom to enjoy their way. The Naked Grouse is a blended malt whisky from The Famous Grouse brand by The Edrington Group. The malts are from Highland Park and Macallan, matured in first-fill Sherry casks. It has a higher proportion of above-mentioned malts, than in the standard, blended malt and grain whisky, because this one has no grains. The bottle is both beautiful and clever, showcasing the grouse etched on the glass.

For our consumers, the whisky category can be difficult to navigate and bound with conventions they don’t want to be constrained by, so for us, it’s about making whisky more accessible,” Elaine Miller, Global Brand Controller at Naked Malt, said in a prepared statement. “We want to give a new generation the freedom to try whisky their way, whilst providing the reassurance of a great quality, versatile liquid.” Naked Malt was initially launched as a ‘Blended Scotch’ under the name Naked Grouse in 2011. In 2017, to capitalise on the burgeoning popularity of contemporary whiskies, its formulation was changed to a ‘Blended Malt’, leading to consecutive years of double-digit growth*. The Naked Grouse brand is uncomplicated; we’re trying to debunk terminology, so we don’t want to get bogged down in the technical side of what it is. It tastes great and that’s it.’Usually, with a little bit of ice, the flavors in a fruity whiskey start to fade away… and in this case, that’s unfortunately happening a bit. The finish at first fell short, but then I had a faint oily, woody (or nutty)note that hung around ..Liked it.

Naked Grouse er en skotsk blended whisky på 40% Vol. Blenderen er The Famous Grouse, som har flere kendte blends på samvittigheden. Eller rettere, det var The Famous Grouse, som var producent. Da Naked Grouse er en blended malt whisky, har Edrington Group valgt at markedsføre den under sit eget brand – nemllig Naked Grouse. Whiskyen er blended af flere single malt whiskyer fra skotske destillerier. Den indeholder altså ikke grain whisky, som ellers ofte er forekommende i skotske blends. Whiskyen indeholder angiveligt både single malt whisky fra destillerierne Highland Park, Macallan og Glenturret, der alle indtil for nyligt alle har været ejet af Edrington Group. Glenturret er for nyligt solgt til Lalique Group SA. Den har lagret på first fill og genbrugte ameriansk ex-bourbon fad, og efterfølgende afsluttet med 6 måneder på ex-oloroso fad. Whiskyen er uden aldersangivelse og er kølefiltreret. Brown moves the shop to 22 Atholl Street; this becomes the headquarters for The Famous Grouse for 99 years
