Famous Grouse Prestige Rare Old

The Famous Grouse Prestige Rare Old is a distinguished, discontinued premium blended Scotch whisky from Matthew Gloag & Son, the historic house behind one of Scotland's most recognisable whisky brands.

Originally produced for the Asian export market, Prestige Rare Old represents an exclusive chapter in the history of The Famous Grouse, offering a more luxurious presentation than the brand's classic everyday blend.

Combining carefully selected malt and grain whiskies, this older expression reflects the traditional Scottish art of blending, bringing together mature oak character, rich malt sweetness and a refined, rounded drinking experience.

Its flavour profile is characterised by honey, dried fruits, creamy toffee, gentle sherry-like richness and subtle oak spice, with a delicate suggestion of smoke.

The distinctive Prestige presentation, historical export-market origins and discontinued status make this bottling especially interesting to collectors of vintage blended Scotch whisky.

Bottled at 43% ABV and 700ml, The Famous Grouse Prestige Rare Old is a compelling example of the brand's premium historical releases, offering both traditional Scotch whisky character and nostalgic collector appeal.
