Whisky Famous Grouse. The Famous Grouse, the famous whisky got its name from the red partridge (Lagopus lagopous scoticus), the symbol of the National Game Bird of Scotland. Famous Grouse is a living proof of the unsurpassed blending skills of Matthew Gloag and Son, a family business founded in 1800. Wonderful, with a gentle scent of flowers on the nose and cereals that work in perfect harmony. Deceptively rich and thick since it actually has a fairly light body. Fruity, with a touch of smoke. The secret lies in the way in which the most refined malt whiskies "marry", such as "The Macallan" with excellent quality grain whisky, in oak barrels for a very long time. The result is a blend with a very mild taste. "Grown" in the Highlands of Scotland, Famous Grouse proudly bears the title of Scotland's most beloved whisky for over 25 years.
