The Famous Grouse 1986 Limited Edition Commonwealth Games in Glasgow is a remarkable single malt Scotch whisky commemorating the 2014 Commonwealth Games held in Glasgow. Distilled in 1986 and bottled in 2014, this whisky has been aged for an impressive 27 years and 11 months. It stands as a testament to the craftsmanship of the Glenturret distillery, one of Scotland's oldest, with a history dating back to 1775 when it operated as an illicit Highland distillery under the name Hosh. Officially reborn on the Hosh site in the 1950s, Glenturret was acquired by Highland Distillers (later Edrington) in 1990 and became the home of the Famous Grouse blend in 2002, before being sold to Lalique in 2019. Limited to just 1800 bottles, this special release was produced at natural cask strength, boasting an ABV of 46.4%. It is noteworthy that the initial release of this whisky had labels stating it was 28 years old, which were subsequently withdrawn after the sale of approximately 100 bottles due to a minor discrepancy. The corrected label now accurately reflects the distillation and bottling dates, emphasizing its authenticity as a single malt from Glenturret, bottled under the Famous Grouse brand. Each bottle comes in a presentation box signed by the Distillery Duty Manager Mandy Ingram, adding a personal touch to this exceptional release.

Overall: A well-balanced and exceptionally matured single malt with a rich and complex profile. The harmonious blend of caramel, oak, and dried fruits on the nose transitions beautifully into rich malt, vanilla, and toffee on the palate. The finish is long, warming, and gently spiced, leaving a lasting impression of elegance and sophistication.
