Black Grouse Gets A Makeover

The Black Grouse whisky has unveiled a new look following the launch of the brand last year.

The brand was created as a smokey alternative - with a malt from Islay making up the blend - to the parent label Famous Grouse in 2008.

The Black Grouse has had a complete packaging update which will be phased in from this month (July). The new look features a new proud pose for the famous bird on the label.

Chris Anderson, Black Grouse's marketing manager, said: "Since its UK launch in 2008 The Black Grouse has performed extremely well against our expectations and has provided us with a strong base to build on for 2009. We have presented The Black Grouse to a number of multiple grocer accounts with a very positive response and look to secure new listings in a number of these in September ahead of the key Christmas trading period."

The brand donates 50p from every bottled to RSPB conservation projects.
