You know the Famous Grouse ? Now imagine it without feathers. Boom, Naked Grouse!
Kidding aside… Edrington, which operates The Macallan, Highland Park, The Glenrothes, Cutty Sark, and Famous Grouse brands — among many others — recently launched this spinoff of the Grouse line. Naked Grouse is a blended malt finished in first-fill oloroso sherry casks. It’s known as “naked” not just because of the lack of a label on the bottle, but because the casks have never before been used for whisky. As a blended malt, it is composed of a blend of single malts (including The Macallan, Highland Park, Glenturret, and Glenrothes), with no grain whisky added. The sherry finishing — which occurs after primary aging of the single malts — is for a period of at least 6 months.
Fresh cereal on the nose dominates the whisky’s aromatic profile, though it’s undercut by a significant nuttiness that is driven by the sherry finishing. The palate shows the sherry impact in significantly more of its glory, the sharp citrus note hitting the palate immediately, backed by sweet notes of spun sugar and ample spice. It’s engaging, but the whisky’s youth hardly hangs out in the background unseen, as those cereal notes poke their head quite a bit, giving the experience a somewhat rustic feel — perhaps naked, one might say. While Naked Grouse isn’t initially an entirely complicated whisky, it does save its greatest tricks for the finish, where ample citrus combines with notes of leather and cloves to elevate the experience into something else entirely.

Back in 2014 I bought a bottle while visiting the Scotch Whisky Experience in Edinburgh. Well worth the $30 US. I wish it was available here in the states. Incidentally, my 10 day tour of the UK, Edinburgh was may favorite in that it was so medieval.
I spoke too soon. It is available in the states (Texas). Here I am, sippin Naked Grouse. Look at me. I love it.
Underrated dram. In times of ever climbing Macallan prices, it’s a good way to scratch that particular kind of sherry itch (nutty, savoury, not raisiny and rancio-laden like a Glenfarclas).

The Naked Grouse blended malt whisky review
Nose: Starts with marzipan dominating. Develops into a mix of malt, vanilla and milk with plums. Even toffee rises from the back.
Taste: Lot of sherry influence with hints of toffee. Bitter raspberry jam, spices and buttery caramel.
Finish: Oak, dark orange chocolate and oil.
Balance: Not bad at all, an okay showing from The Famous Grouse brand. Has a lot of potential – with more consistency, for example a richer nose and strong finish, it would’ve been a greater whisky.

The Black Grouse Alpha Edition review March 13, 2015
Jim Beam White Label Bourbon review April 4, 2015
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.
This vatted malt whisky is pretty good. Overall, an okay dram from the famous Scottish brand. Needs lots of time in the glass to develop. Starts of stingy and with strong marzipan notes, which I always detest. But in the end, turns out just fine.
Bang for the buck dram. Partly rich, occasionally hard to understand. Like jazz music can be. That’s why I’ll call this grouse Bird , in honor of the movie by Clint Eastwood .

High yields, a change to the reserve rules and issues around chaptalization have some Champagne producers worried.
