I have just seen that the famous grouse are offering personalised labels. I tried it out and the simple piece of software to create your own label seems to work very well.
I have to admit that I didn’t buy my personalised bottle, after all, a personal label doesn’t hide the fact that it is still famous grouse inside the bottle. To be fair to the famous grouse, I have drunk their whisky, and would drink it again, if their was nothing else available. But I am a single malt man, and however nice the whisky is, it just doesn’t compare to a single malt.
All credit to them though, personalised whisky labels should give them a boost in sales running up to christmas. For me though, my money is staying firmly in my wallet.
Random question….have you tried any of the more expensive Grouse whiskeys? Like the 30 year? Do they compare any better?
