THE BLACK GROUSE ALPHA EDITION<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Alpha Edition is a richer, smokier expression of our award winning Scotch Whisky.\u00a0 This beautifully mature and complex blend has a higher, older malt content delivering much more depth to this richly sweet and smoky blend. On the nose the Alpha Edition is sherbet sweet. Deeper exploration provides warmth and richness, before a lingering, velvety, smouldering, smoke-filled finish.<\/p>\n

THE NAKED GROUSE<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Naked Grouse enriches the flavours of Scotland\u2019s favourite whisky by maturing in sun dried sherry oak casks. The influence of our quality first-fill sherry casks develops a deep russet appearance and an aroma that melds black cherries, cocoa and oak. The taste experience is sublimely smooth with famous trade-mark dried fruits yielding to cinnamon sticks and nutmeg. The sweet finale is rich in dark chocolate with a spicy, orange finish. A fine example of the blender\u2019s art, it is best enjoyed neat or as a classic \u201cOld Fashioned\u201d.<\/p>\n
