  • Interesting that you're suggesting Grouse as a first Scotch to your (perhaps mostly US?) audience. As Ralfy says, not all Scots know whisky, so I suspect that its popularity is not necessarily based on quality. I personally prefer Teacher's if I'm going to drink a blend, but I don't know hw easy that is to get in the States.

  • Ralfy likes JW Black. He thinks Grouse has declined in quality of late. I generally like Grouse and think it's a good introduction to non-Sctoch drinkers. Teachers is available though not widespread in the US.

  • its wrong to say whiskey when you are talking about scotch whisky, sad really when you get so much of the other things right ;p

    i too started with blend thougth only 2 bottles then i moved on to single malt which is much better especially the islay's :)

  • Thanks for you comments niksamatad. I'm cognizant of the spelling issues; on Whiskey Minute I talk about all types of whisk(e)y, so I chose to use the American spelling (I'm in the US).

  • keep up the good work

  • Thanks Ronmalt, you to!

  • Grouse is/was the most popular in Scotland because it is available and cheap, and not a poor blend. I turn to it myself at times, in England, certainly in preference to Bells which receives the biggest marketing here. In essence, Grouse does capture the simple (rfor drinking) grain/malt spirit in wood which makes scotch what it is.

  • @whiskeyminute Yes, I like JW Black also. I must admit it's been a while since I had any Grouse, so I may be doing it a disservice. Bell's is the one I really don't like at all in terms of a blend.

  • I started with the Famous Grouse.. Not bad. Now I have got hooked on the single malts. Cragganmore 1992. Glen Garioch 8 yr. Good Job Keep up the informative videos!! Speyside and Highlands Rule!!

  • No sir.  That's real Scotch!!
