The folks at Famous Grouse took the classic blended Scotch and treated it to a finish in Port seasoned casks here, imparting generous helpings of stewed dark fruit and spice to the mix. One to enjoy after a cheese board, or with a nice slice of fruit cake perhaps?

Nose: Malted Milk biscuits, vanilla wafers, dried, woody baking spice.

Palate: Roasted malt and raisins bring notes of tea loaf, with clove and cinnamon, toffee apples, and a touch of ginger.

Finish: Mellow oak, forest fruits, and caramelised spiced biscuits finish things off.
