Naked Malt Blended Scotch Whisky, 70cl

Product Information

The rebranding will see one of these first-fill sherry casks replace the grouse on the bottle, which stays entirely transparent to showcase the liquid. Selected for the balance of sweetness and rich, fruity character they impart, these casks are four times the value of the bourbon casks used by competitor brands.

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. Our Service is an online platform which provides Members with information (e.g. bottle facts, market-indices, market values and prices) on (mostly) whisky and allows Members to add information to the platform. We do not sell, nor does the Service provide any option to buy, any alcoholic products. 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.Diane Stuart, Naked Malt Master Blender, said, “Naked Malt is blended using some of the finest Scottish single malts, each selected for its quality and individual flavour. Every cask of Single Malt Scotch whisky selected for our blend is nosed to ensure it meets our exacting standard.

Brown moves the shop to 22 Atholl Street; this becomes the headquarters for The Famous Grouse for 99 years PALATE: An interesting flavour development. The first sip is just spicy notes. Sweetness develops a bit more by the second sip. The second sip has remnants of bubblegum, plump cherries and bits of butterscotch. The blended malt is said to have notes of fudge, cooked apples and cherries, and is designed as a session whisky to be drunk on its own or with cherry cola. 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.

Malt whisky continues to rise in popularity with consumers and, by changing our blended Scotch to a blended malt, we can use the individuality and character of single malts and create a whisky that stands out from the crowd,’ said Elaine Miller, global marketing manager for Naked Grouse. Matthew Gloag wins the contract to supply food and wine for the visit of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert to Perth I enjoy this whisky and I hope that when Edrington sold Glenturret to Art & Terroir they were able to write in some stipulations about getting access to barrels to keep this brand going without having to dramatically change it. They also sold off Cutty Sark to La Martiniquaise at the same time, so who knows what’s going to happen with that one. But for now they’re holding on to all the Grouse brands so I’m hoping they can keep this going and keep it tasty. Anyways, time to drink!

It wasn’t until Matthew Gloag III inherited the business from William in 1896 that the company registered its first blended Scotch, the Brig o’ Perth. A year later, The Famous Grouse was released at the same time as The Grouse Brand. The Naked Grouse Blended Malt Scotch Whisky is just plan good. It’s sippable, it’s mixable, it’s not too sweet and has a nice profile veteran drinkers can easily enjoy yet it’s 100% approachable for those venturing into the world of Scotch. It’s not incredibly complex, but what’s there is delivered with a warming richness that far exceeds expectations. I love it.Glenturret distillery, home to The Famous Grouse, has released a core range of single malt whiskies. The Edrington Group owns the Famous Grouse brand as well as The Macallan, Cutty Sark and Highland Park. This Naked Grouse has a high proportion of spirit from Macallan & Highland Park. The Macallan bringing the sweet sherry influence, and Highland Park bringing a slightly malty, smoky sharpness. Famous Grouse is a famous and storied brand of scotch whisky, one that has a stodgy reputation and isn’t quite as appealing to the millennials (or the elder Gen Z-ers who are of drinking age). This is something their Naked brand of spirits is trying to change — with a bit of an edgier name and a more interesting, stylized bottle. But are the contents updated too? Time to drink some and find out. That’s a pretty bold statement, I know, but I haven’t been too enthused with the latest releases of Highland Park 12 or Macallan 12; neither one is really hitting the strides they used to. As for Glenturret and Glenrothes… well… I’ve never been a big Glenrothes fan and this exceeds nearly every one I’ve had. Glenturret I’ve had a few here and there, but nothing that’s ever made me purposefully seek them out – hence the statement above. 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.’

Der er en medium afslutning på denne blended malt whisky. Sødmen er stadig meget tydelig, hvor særligt det brune sukker stikker frem. Rosiner og abrikoser ligger konstant i baggrunden. Efter lidt tid kommer vanilje og egetræ en smule frem. Ligeledes fremkommer en let bitterhed, og lidt syrlighed mærkes på tungen. Det minder lidt om det man kender fra revet citron skal. Man sidder tilbage med en fornemmelse af sukkersødme i munden.

ProductI 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. 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*. Consumers and bartenders are looking for something more unique, which is why we wanted to move the brand on and change it.’
