The Famous Grouse 16 Year Old – Vic Lee Special Edition

Blended Scotch Whisky
100 cl · 40% vol.

This The Famous Grouse 16 Year Old – Vic Lee Special Edition is a unique release within The Famous Grouse range. Unlike the standard expressions, this is a blend with a clear age indication of 16 years , bottled in a 1-liter bottle and released as a Special Edition .

The whisky matured in a combination of first-fill sherry and first-fill bourbon casks , which gives it more depth and roundness than the regular Famous Grouse. Don't expect a complex single malt, but rather a refined, smooth, and mature blend with an emphasis on balance and drinkability.

This is a blend that clearly rises above the entry level, without losing its approachable character.
