Whisky For Everyone has just received a sneak preview of the new Christmas TV advert for the Famous Grouse blended whisky. We thought we would share it! The advert can be viewed below and mocks the world of the Z-list celebrities that are currently littering all forms of the media, with the tag line being that Famous Grouse is 'Famous For A Reason'. It will be screened for the first time on UK television on Monday 23 November.The Famous Grouse is the UK's biggest selling whisky. It is a blend that is made up of single malts from the Glenrothes, Glenturret, Highland Park and Macallan distilleries and some grain whisky. The four distilleries are all owned by the Edrington Group and the success of the blend can be traced back to the 1960s, when whisky sales were booming. In 1980, The Famous Grouse finally overtook Bell's, its long term rival, to gain first place for UK sales and has never looked back. It has maintained first place ever since although the rivalry means that figures are always close. The Famous Grouse accounts for 15% of all blended whisky sales in the UK, which is its primary market. The Famous Grouse was created by a company called Matthew Gloag & Son. The company was set up in 1800 by Matthew Gloag in the town of Perth in the southern Highlands of Scotland.

Dear Sirs.
Where have you sent the Grouse?
Bring him back to lighten our Christmas.
This new advert is a poor second best.
I totally agree seeing the grouse advert signifies the start of xmas in my household I only hope the current advert is just a warm up for the finale
I totally agree. I loved seeing the grouse. Where has he gone. Really disappointed with the new ad. What's with the beards? Please bring the grouse back.
Where's the Grouse? Well done, Famous Grouse - Not - how to ruin a successful ad campaign by dropping your best asset in favour of a load of silly bearded people with no charm or wit whatsoever. Bet your sales fall through the floor this year with such a rubbish ad. Don't be stupid and bring back the Grouse.
My Christmas has been spoilt without the wonderful old style Grouse advert, who are these silly bearded people and what relevance do they have to anything. Very poor advert.
Unless they get the proper Grouse ad back on the teli next week I shall drink Jameson this Christmas! Save the Grouse, vote with your wallet.
What a stupid ad with silly bearded people I am SICK SICK SICK of it, its on every five minutes. Bring back the grouse he was GREAT.
Where can I buy the glasses that are on the advert
I actually have grown to love this ad.When the real bearded guy does a mugshot selfie with his santa friends, the expression on his face
makes me laugh.
