Naked Malt Whisky

About Naked Malt

The name 'naked' refers to the fact that the whisky has no added colour and no age statement, letting the flavour speak for itself instead. For newcomers it's a soft, approachable blended malt without complicated age-statement debates; for collectors it's notable that the 2018 relaunch from The Famous Grouse Malt Whisky to Naked Malt reflects a broader trend in the whisky industry, where 'no age statement' releases are increasingly marketed as an honest alternative to the traditional focus on years spent in cask.

History & Background

Naked Malt was formerly called The Famous Grouse Malt Whisky, but was relaunched under its current name in 2018 to emphasise an honest, unfiltered approach.

Production & Style

The whisky is a blend of several malt whiskies, matured in both sherry and bourbon casks.

Signature Style

Fruity, Sweet, Round
The whisky offers a fruity, sweet character with a round, gentle finish.
