Famous Grouse price Malaysia: what you will pay
The table shows The Famous Grouse at Malaysian retailers. "Typical" is the range at mainstream shops such as whisky.my, W Wine & Liquor Warehouse and Jaya Grocer. "Lowest seen" is the cheapest online discounter listing. However, that bottle may be parallel-import stock or another size, so it is not a direct match.
| Expression | Size | ABV | Typical price | Lowest seen* | Seen at |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Finest | 70cl | 40% | RM153–RM190 | RM95 | whisky.my, Wine Warehouse, Jaya Grocer |
Typical price is the range at mainstream Malaysian retailers for a standard 70cl or 75cl bottle, checked in October 2026. *Lowest seen is the cheapest online discounter listing. It may be a different bottle size or parallel-import stock. Prices change often, so confirm with the retailer before you buy.
So the Famous Grouse price in Malaysia sits below Johnnie Walker Red Label and Ballantine's Finest. For a well-known blend, that is good value.
A short history of The Famous Grouse
The story starts with Matthew Gloag & Son, a family merchant firm in Perth. In 1896, the family created a blend called The Grouse. The red grouse is a well-loved Scottish game bird, so the name had local appeal. Then, in 1905, the name became The Famous Grouse.
The brand then spent many years with Edrington. During that time, the Glenturret distillery near Crieff hosted The Famous Grouse Experience. Edrington later sold Glenturret, and the Lalique Group bought it.
A new owner in 2025
The biggest recent change came in 2025. According to William Grant & Sons, it agreed to buy The Famous Grouse in September 2024. The deal closed on 1 July 2025, after a UK competition review. So the brand now sits beside Grant's and Monkey Shoulder. The new owner calls it "Scotland's best-selling whisky".
The Famous Grouse Finest: tasting notes
Finest is the core bottle, at 40% ABV. It is a blend of malt and grain whiskies, with a mellow, rounded feel. Expect gentle sweetness, a little dried fruit and light oak. It has no strong smoke, so it suits new drinkers. The notes below describe the general style.
Soft oak, light citrus and sweet malt.
Mellow, with dried fruit and gentle spice.
Medium, smooth and slightly sweet.

- Dewar's White Label: RM188–RM230
