Naked Malt Whisky

No added colour, no age statement, no dressing up – just the flavour itself. Naked Malt used to be called The Famous Grouse Malt Whisky, but was stripped bare in 2018 to prove that honesty can be the best marketing.

Naked Malt Blended Malt Whisky 40%

Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197278411

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.
