Ruby Cask is the second release in the Cask Series from Famous Grouse. It's the classic original Famous blend, rested in specially selected casks seasoned with port to add even more smooth and rich flavors. This is the only everyday-premium blend with a port cask finish. It's a whisky we enjoy year-round... during the warmer months preferably over a big cube of ice or in an Old Fashioned-- but it's not too heavy to enjoy neat.
"The port cask finish wraps the toffee and baked orange in an extra layer of richness. There is subtlety in the aroma of the port notes, with red cherry and dried cranberry mingling with well-integrated spices in the background. Richer dark caramels infused with red fruits, including cranberry, red currant, and pomegranate, chased by feisty spices. The finish has concentrated red fruit juices, nougat, and long-lasting spices." - Jonny McCormick, Whisky Advocate
Tasting Notes
Nose: Dried fruits, vanilla and cinnamon.
Palate: Rich notes of honey, caramel, vanilla and dried fruits.
Finish: Sugar cubes dipped in orange flavored sherry and served with rich chocolate.
