Famous Grouse 18 Year Old Malt

I previously talked about Chivas Bros 18 year old blend; now I have the Famous Grouse 18 year old Malt. There is a big difference between the two, though. Chivas produces blends, which can include a large dose of grain whisky to provide a base for the malt whisky. Famous Grouse also produces blends, but the 18 year old malt is 100% malt whisky (or pure malt in the old parlance, blended malt scotch whisky in the new version). The 18 year old malt is a rich whisky and definitely worth the money. It's easily one-third (or less) the price of the Johnny Walker Blue Label, but brings just as much flavor (though with barely any smoke). Honey, flowers, fruity notes, but with power. Loved it.
