2 new blends from Famous Grouse

The Famous Grouse has introduced two new whisky blends -- one a rare bird, the other a plucked version.

The first is The Snow Grouse, being marketed as the first Scotch whisky specially created to be served straight from the freezer. It is a blended grain whisky matured in oak casks before being chill filtered. The suggested UK retail price is £17.49, which translates into about US$28.

The second new blend, The Naked Grouse, is a blend matured in first-fill sweet sherry casks. Suggested UK retail price is £27.69, or about US$45.

No word yet on when the new blends will be released to the U.S. market.
